Connect Groups

Connect Groups

Connect Groups are how we build community at C3 Long Island. They provide an opportunity outside of our weekend services to meet in small gatherings and connect with each other and with God. Our mission is to help you enjoy your best life for the glory of God. Connect Groups will help you do that in a nurturing and fun environment. Whether you are new to the church or someone who has seen C3 grow and flourish through the years, Connect Groups were created with you in mind as we do life together.
