about us

A FriendĀ of the Church

We exist because lost people are driving by churches every day. We help the church be ready to meet them.

the opportunity

156 Million People in the United States Do Not Attend Church

By 2050, church attendance will be half of what it was in 1990. That number keeps us up at night. It's why Connect Ministries exists.

Our Mission

We help churches meet new people and welcome them into the life of the local church.

Our Vision

A church in every community that is healthy, outward-focused, and ready to welcome every person who walks through the door.

Our Core Values

These are not words on a wall. They shape how we work, how we serve churches, and how we treat every person we encounter.

Innovation

Innovation

The church's challenges are real, and the old playbook isn't enough. We stay curious, keep learning, and bring fresh ideas to help churches reach people in a changing world.

Relationships

Relationships

We are your teammate. The best work happens when trust runs deep, and we build that with every church we serve.

Integrity

Integrity

We say what we mean and do what we say. Churches trust us with their people and their reputation. We take that seriously every single time.

Excellence

Excellence

Churches deserve more than good. We hold our work to a high standard because the mission is too important to do halfway.

Celebration

Celebration

Every first-time guest, every family that stays, every kid who hears the gospel at camp — those moments matter. We celebrate them because they are the whole point.

what we beleive

Our Statement of Faith

Everything we do flows from a conviction that the local church is the hope of the world. We hold to the foundational truths of the Christian faith and serve the church out of that commitment.

Our Organization's History

Connect Ministries started with a simple burden: too many people were living right next to a church and never walking through the door. Every service we have built since traces back to that same conviction.
