What is the Connect?

Connect is for 6th–8th graders who want to have fun, build community, and explore what it means to follow Jesus.
In a fun, high-energy environment, trusted leaders come alongside students to disciple, encourage, and challenge them through relevant messages and real conversations.
We’re passionate about helping students build a firm foundation of faith that will last into high school and for the rest of their lives.

Our Vision

We exist to help students know God personally, find belonging through Christ-centered community, and step confidently into the purpose God has for their lives. Follow Jesus, Find Belonging, Live with Purpose.

Meadow Ranch is a phenomenal place for middle school (6th-8th grade) students to get away from the everyday distractions and into the quietness the Meadow has to offer and learn more about who God is.
