Connect with Others

People come to our church for many reasons--the music, the
message, the children's ministry--but one of the things that keeps
them coming back is...the people. We don't underestimate the power
of relationships. Your relationship with yourself, your relationship
with others, or your relationship with GOD. Come join us and feel
what it is like to be "connected".
Where do I go to Get Connected?
Located in the Lobby, the Connections Desk is designed to be the
initial place to get connected to others in the church. This is the
place where you can have a conversation face to face with a
volunteer who will help you learn more about One Community Spiritual Center and
what we have to offer.
How can I get Connected?
