JOIN A
connect GROUP.
Connecting is an important part of what we do at NewCov, because we believe that scripture makes it clear we are not meant to do life alone.
Connect Groups run in 6–8 week series through the year – Wednesday nights, 6:30–8:00 PM, at the Fresno campus. You’ll gather around a table with 8–12 people for study, conversation, prayer, and the kind of encouragement that makes hard weeks survivable. Groups become “our people” at NewCov: friends for life’s joyous highs and difficult lows. New groups form with every series, and hopping into an existing one is always allowed.
Between series, groups take a breather – check this page or the Sunday announcements for the next start date.
Sessions are held throughout the year, and are NOT held every week. Save this page and check back for series dates/times.

— NEW SERIES
THE PILGRIM'S PROGRESS
Our new series, “The Pilgrim’s Progress,” will run from September 2 through December 2. Throughout this series, we’ll journey through John Bunyan’s timeless story, exploring themes of faith, perseverance, temptation, spiritual growth, and the Christian life. Each week, we’ll discover how the journey of Christian points us toward the challenges and victories we experience as we follow Christ.

COMMUNITY ISN'T AN ADD-ON TO FOLLOWING JESUS - it's how following Jesus works.
THREE REASONS TO PULL UP A CHAIR:
01
A Greater Sense Of Community & Connection
Being a part of a Connect Group ensures that when you most desperately need support and encouragement, you have a great group of people to rely on. Simply knowing you have “your people” that you can count on, makes all the difference when times get hard.
02
A Place For Spiritual Exploration And Growth
Connect Groups are an environment where people are encouraged & supported as they open up and share stories, experiences, thoughts, ideas, and feelings while exploring God’s Word.
03
An Opportunity To Serve Others
Connect Groups are encouraged to get involved in service opportunities as a group at NewCov and in the community. In addition to helping others, these are opportunities to serve alongside each other as you strengthen friendships.
— FAQ
FREQUENTLY asked QUESTIONS.
How do I join a connect group ?
Signing up for a Connect Group is pretty simple. If you’d like to join a Wednesday Night Connect Group, you can sign up above, at Guest Services on Sundays, or just show up next Wednesday Night and we’ll take care of you. If you’d like to find out more about Bible-studies, service opportunities, or other groups at NewCov, inquire at Guest Services on Sunday Mornings.
Which group should I join ?
That depends! Some of our Connect Groups are open to everyone in every walk of life, and some of them are designed to suit certain people best. Wednesday Night Connect Groups are a great place to start, as everyone is welcome and you can connect with others who may be involved in different areas at NewCov.
How long is a connect group commitment ?
Only the length of a sermon series, which is generally 6-8 weeks long. It is entirely up to you if you choose to continue or not after the series is over.
I'm interested in leading a connect group. What's involved ?
Leading a Connect Group is easy. Just making a commitment to meet regularly with a group of up to 12 people on a regular basis. You will be provided a study guide that will facilitate your group’s discussion. You will be asked to attend periodic training sessions to keep you up to date on important information and to share ideas to make your group’s experience the best possible. Your commitment to lead a group can be as short as a sermon series or as long as you’d like.
