Connect Groups at Alinea Church
Find Community in Murfreesboro, TN
Connect groups are smaller groups of people where you simply do life together. They are built around simple rhythms:
We believe prayer is the heartbeat of real community, not an afterthought tacked onto a meeting. So we commit to praying for one another by name, carrying each other's burdens before God as often as we gather. This is where community becomes something deeper than friendship.
We strategically equip groups to make disciples and learn more about Jesus and His word. Growth happens best in relationship, not isolation, so we study Scripture together and ask each other hard questions. Over time, this shapes how we think, live, and love the people around us.
We grow closer to each other by serving together. Pick a simple community project to serve together as a group, whether that's a local nonprofit, a neighbor in need, or a church workday. Serving side by side turns strangers into family faster than almost anything else.
Plan a hike, short road trip, bowling, night on the town, or fun at the lake. These are times to laugh and enjoy each other's company without an agenda beyond just being together. Joy is part of how we experience life with God, not a distraction from it.
One of our codes is We Eat Together. Everyone is welcome to the table of God, so we are committed to both illogical hospitality and intentionally sitting around the table together as often as we can. We bring what we have, serious about serving one another as we follow Jesus. There's something sacred about a shared meal, it slows us down and reminds us we belong to each other.
