Connect Groups are weekly discipleship classes for 1st-6th graders.

These are mid-week discipleship environments designed to help kids build strong friendships, grow in their faith, and learn how to engage with scripture in meaningful ways, all in age-specific small groups.

Connect 1 | 2/3 | 4/5 | 6

Wednesdays | 5:00–6:30 PM | Pilchuck  

Connect 1 gently introduces first graders to using their Bibles, learning through hands-on activities, and building relationships in a safe and fun environment. Each week they receive a short take-home devotional to help them begin practicing personal Bible time with the support of their families.
Wednesdays | 5:00–6:30 PM | Rainier  

Kids in Connect 2/3 join a consistent small group for the entire year, forming meaningful friendships and deeper trust. Through games, lessons, and creative activities, they dive deeper into Sunday’s teaching. Each child receives a Connect Book that helps them build regular Bible reading and prayer habits throughout the week.
Wednesdays | 7:00–8:30 PM | Rainier  

Connect 4/5 creates space for older elementary students to connect with friends, stay grounded in a consistent small group, and grow in their personal faith. Their Connect Book includes scripture readings and guided activities to help them learn how to study the Bible thoughtfully and independently.
Wednesdays | 7:00–8:30 PM | Pilchuck  

Our newest ministry tier helps sixth graders transition from kids’ ministry toward youth ministry. The evening begins in Pilchuck, continues with worship alongside our youth group, and finishes back in Pilchuck for teaching, Bible-based discussion, and games. Students receive a Bible reading plan they follow throughout the week to strengthen their spiritual habits
