Connect is the small group network of Hope City Church - and the best nights in the week!

Connecting together in Sheffield

In Sheffield we have Connect Groups that run by all our Life Group Leaders so that you can connect with people at the same stage in life within our church family. Scroll down all the groups and find a Connect Group to testdrive. You can try as many as you like before choosing one to stick with. Also you can contact any of the Life Group leaders for more details of Life Group socials and events near you!
