A Connect Group talking together after church

Connect Groups

Community is our commitment.

Weekly in Robina and Carrara, fortnightly in Brisbane.

Why groups

We are not designed to do life alone.

That is why Connect Groups are a priority for us. They are intentional weekly spaces for connection and conversation.

Everyone at Sanctuary is welcome in a group, whether you have been here two years or two weeks.

How they run

Groups follow the SZN.

We run the year in seasons rather than one long unbroken term. Connect Groups open with each SZN, which gives you a clear place to start and a clear place to stop if life changes. SZN 4 begins 4 October 2026.

01

Say you are in

Fill in a connect card and tell us you are after a group. It takes a minute.

02

We match you

Robina and Carrara meet weekly, Brisbane meets fortnightly. We will point you to whichever one actually fits your week.

03

You turn up

Come as you are, eat something, talk about what we have been teaching, pray for each other.

Before you come

The usual questions

No, it is the normal way in. Most people join a group not knowing anyone, and every group has done this before. You will be looked after.

No. If you are exploring faith and want a room where you can ask real questions without being made an example of, a group is a good place to do it.

Come to what you can. Groups run for a season, not forever, and nobody is keeping a roll.

Ask when you enquire. Some groups are set up for it and some are not, so it is worth checking before you turn up.

Come as you are

Get in a group this season.

SZN 4 opens 4 October. Robina and Carrara weekly, Brisbane fortnightly. Tell us which one suits and we will introduce you.
