Pretty much any type that you would like to join or create! CRC’s Connect Groups are affinity based, using a free-market approach, which means that you are free to create a Connect Group around whatever you enjoy doing with other people.

We value your time, so most Connect Groups run for about 1 hour. Connect Group seasons will generally last for 13 weeks in the Fall, 13 weeks in the Winter/Spring and 6 weeks in the Summer.
No, you can come to any Connect Group without being a member of CRC.
Some Connect Groups may provide childcare, others may not. You will need to check the Connect Groups Directory or contact the leader of the Connect Group that you are interested in participating in to find out if childcare is offered.

Connect Groups help to fulfill the mission of CRC by creating places for us to Live Generously by giving ourselves to care for others and giving our lives as a resource in the Kingdom.
