The Christian life is best lived in community. One of the ways this happens at Cornerstone is through Connect Groups - small groups of 6-12 people which meet weekly to study the Bible and pray together.

Connect Groups at Cornerstone are all part of medium-sized communities called Clusters. Clusters are generally made up of around three Connect Groups which get together at least once a month. Some Clusters have all their small groups meeting in the same place weekly, and share a meal together. Clusters are a great place to meet new people, share life, pray for each other, and grow in faith.
