get connected

They say that there are only 2 things that are certain; death and taxes, but I have found something that is nearly as certain when it comes to the church.

Here it is: If people do not get connected, they will not stay more than a year.

I have seen this play out over and over. Someone starts attending regularly, and then the next thing you know, they're gone.

Sunday morning worship service attendance is not enough!

In other words, if the only connection a person has is attending a church service on Sunday morning, they won't make it for long..... no matter how much they enjoy the services.

The key is connection. The way to get connected at Foothills Community Church is through serving and Find and Follow group participation.

Let me explain these 2 connection points:

Serving: At Foothills we have dozens of ministry teams. There are opportunities to get connected through serving in such areas as KidZone (Children's ministry), Thrive (Student ministry), stage construction, administrative support, hospitality, praise team, choir, musicians, video, graphics, lighting, greeters, group leaders, care and support, and many more. In addition we have many opportunities to serve in our community and around the world with our Project Reach initiative.

Find and Follow Groups: These are groups of people that meet together throughout the week to study the Bible, and connect through relationships. Some of these groups meet in different members homes, some meet on our campus and some groups meet for different sports and hobbies.

Ideally you will serve and attend a Find and Follow group. The more relationships you build the "stickier" a church becomes.

The bottom line is, you need to get connected if you're going to stick. We want you to stick, we really do.
