A connect group is a small group of people that meet on a regular basis (usually weekly) to have a time of praise and worship, prayer, teaching of God's Word, fellowship, and outreach.

Each connect group teaches the connect group lesson provided in the bulletin and online each week. These lessons are based on Pastor Billy Joe's weekly message. Some of the special interest and sunday groups add extra teaching that is been pre-approved. In the V12 leadership groups, material on leadership is also taught.

No.  We have several types of groups that are in the surrounding community and the workplace. Most workplace connect groups are made up of non-Victory members. They are led by Victory members and provide a vehicle to take Christ into the workplace.

There are over 800 connect groups at Victory. We have groups for every generation, geographical location, and special interest. These groups are listed in the Victory Connect Group Directory. Pick one up at any of our kiosks at any service.

Victory has a Leadership Equipping Track that prepares you to take part in ministry. There are seven parts, but only the first three are required to be a Connect Group leader: Foundation Class, Connect Group Orientation, and Connect Group Apprenticeship.

We have children's connect groups that are specifically geared for kids and also some of the connect groups have Kidz Clubs for the children. For the groups that cannot accommodate children the listing will say "Adults Only."

The connect groups follow the vision of Victory; Worship, Prayer, Teach the Word, Fellowship, and Evangelism/Missions. Some of the leadership groups and special interest groups may have an additional teaching on pre-approved material.

A one year commitment is required but many of our leaders have led groups for over fifteen years.

No, you have the freedom to attend a group of your choice.

The amount of time varies depending on how quickly you complete the three steps to leadership (see above). The average time of completion is three to six months.
