Connection Groups"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20 Discipleship is the key component of the church's great commission, ensuring that the individual believer matures into a person who is capable of bearing fruit. At First Assembly, the primary method of imparting the components of discipleship into people's lives is through Connection Groups. Our desire is to take you beyond Sunday morning and into every day life with fellow believers through this ministry.
