Welcoming You to Our Story at Connect Church

We believe that our story is still being written, and we warmly invite you to be a part of it. Join us at Connect Church, and let's experience God's love, grace, and purpose together.

Connect Church is a vibrant community of faith, united by a singular desire: to lead people on a life-changing spiritual journey. Rooted in the principles of the New Testament church, we are blessed with a diverse congregation that reflects our surrounding community and beyond.

Our church is defined not only by our rich history but by the shared vision of our community. We believe that we're all in this journey together, and our actions are guided by our mission to connect people to God and their purpose. We strive to create a welcoming space where everyone can come as they are, finding not only community and connection but also spiritual growth and transformation.

At Connect Church, we're not just about Sunday services. We provide resources and opportunities throughout the week, such as Life Groups, Dream Team, and other community opportunities - empowering every individual to strengthen their impact on their community as they draw closer to God.

Our church is not built off the gifts of few but the sacrifices of many.

We don’t believe in pressured giving; We believe in predetermined giving.

If you would like to contribute to the vision of connect, you can do so through our website, in person or through the church center app. It’s simple to do and you can even setup recurring gifts if it’s more convenient for you.

  • Give online through our secure giving portal. You can give by credit card or an ACH transfer from your bank account. You can also set up recurring giving and see your giving history through this portal. At $.25 per transaction, ACH Giving is the least expensive solution for all involved. It’s even cheaper than writing a check.

  • You can provide a gift at any of our weekend services. You will notice however, that we don’t pass a plate or take a regular offering . We believe giving should be pre-determined and not done out of impulse or guilt, so simply drop your donation into the Connection Box.

  • Maybe you prefer to give by check. You can do it through the Bill Pay system at your local bank or simply by making your check payable to:

    “Connect Church” and mailing it to:

    60 Pleasant Street, Ashland, MA 01721.

  • If you would like to get creative and make a gift of stocks, mutual funds, real property, insurance annuities or some other creative asset, just contact the Connect office at office@weconnect.cc and we will help you make it happen.

Connect Church is a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (EFCA) and the Governing Board has an annual audit conducted by an outside accounting firm.

Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible and inerrant. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; Proverbs 30:5; Romans 16:25-26)

  • There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and co-eternal. (1 John 5:7; Genesis 1:26; Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 28:19; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; Hebrews 3:7-11)

  • Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory. (John 1:1; John 1:14; John 20:28; 1 Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-6; 1 Timothy 2:5)

  • Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit (the third person of the Trinity) in the virgin Mary’s womb; therefore, He is the Son of God. (Matthew 1:18; Matthew 1:25; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18; Matthew 1:23-25; Luke 1:27-35)

  • Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (Genesis 1:26-31; Genesis 3:1-7; Romans 5:12-21)

  • We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ; His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts. (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16; Galatians 3:8; Titus 3:5; Romans 10:9-10; Acts 16:31; Hebrews 9:22)

  • Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation. (Acts 2:21; Acts 3:19; 1 John 1:9)

  • Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God’s Word and His Spirit in order to complete the development of Christ’s character in us. It is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life. (1 Thessalonians 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Corinthians 3:18; 2 Corinthians 6:14-18; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3; Romans 8:29; Romans 12:1-2; Hebrews 2:11)

  • The Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100% sufficient to cleanse mankind of all sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for both our sinfulness and our sins, enabling all those who believe to be free from the penalty of sin, which is death. (1 John 1:7; Revelation 1:5; Revelation 5:9; Colossians 1:20; Romans 3:10-12; Romans 3:23; Romans 5:9; John 1:29)
