Connect Groups

These groups are right at the very heart of CCB life and are a brilliant way to meet others on a regular basis (groups meet either weekly or bi-weekly), worship together, study and apply God’s word and pray for one another.  They are places to be real, laugh a lot generally over some sort of food!

Our goal in the groups is to help each other grow in our relationship with God and reach out to others. We generally follow on from the talk on Sunday morning services in the notes we study.

As mentioned above Connect Groups meet mid-week during term time (day time and evenings) and most of the groups are mixed, although we also have some men’s and women’s only groups.

The Worship Playlist that is used in most Connect Groups can be found here and in the YouTube & Spotify links above.

Connect Group Questions
w/c 27 April 2026

Intro - Why not get the group to share their journeys of faith in relation to the presence of the Holy Spirit?  When you hear the name ‘Holy Spirit’ are you ‘thirsty’; ‘suspicious’ or ‘uninformed’?

  • John 15:26–27 - What does it mean that the Spirit “testifies” about Jesus, and how do believers join in that testimony?

  • John 16:1-4 - Why does Jesus warn the disciples about persecution ahead of time? How might that prepare them (and us)?

  • John 16:7 - Why does Jesus say it is “for your good” that He goes away so the Spirit can come?

  • John 16:8-11 - What do you think it looks like for the Spirit to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment?

  • John 16:13-15 - How does the Spirit guide believers into truth, and what does this reveal about the relationship between the Father, Son, and Spirit?

Andy talked on Sunday (at the beginning of our new series on the Holy Spirit) that we should seek greater ‘INTIMACY’ and ‘HOLINESS’ in our walk with the Spirit.  What does this mean on a practical basis?
