Fascinating Week, Fascinating Weekend – Don’t Miss it!

Posted on 29. May, 2009 by carey in Connexus | No Comments

We have heard from hundreds of people this week about Hip 2B Holy, the Global documentary that aired Monday night (and no, it's not available online from what we can tell). Really thankful for the dialogue it's generated, but even more excited at the possibility that it let people who don't go to church know [...]

Celebrating Together!

Posted on 27. May, 2009 by Jenn in Uncategorized | 3 Comments

If you haven't realized by now we take families pretty seriously at Connexus!  We truly believe that when we combine the influence of parents and church leaders together around a plan to build faith and character in children, we can have a far greater influence in the lives of these kids than if we were [...]

Well, it's been a full 24 hours since Hip 2B Holy aired on Global. (Haven't seen actual large chunks of documentary footage surface online yet, have you?) Man, have we heard from a lot of people.  I haven't waded through this many messages from people from all over the place since we started Connexus. Thank you [...]

Hey friends…so we're all a bit excited and (honestly) a bit nervous as Hip 2B Holy, a Kevin Newman documentary, airs nationally tonight at 10:00 on Global.  The documentary tracks a number of churches that are making a difference with the younger generation and are growing, and Connexus is one of the churches they are [...]

Signs from Beyond – Can We Help You Do This?

So I have been pumped about the Signs from Beyond series for a while now, mostly because I hope it will help people in trying to nail how we actually hear from God.All campuses are into the series now, which is great.  But too often, we walk away from services thinking this about a message: [...]

This Weekend @ Connexus | May 24th, 2009

Posted on 22. May, 2009 by carey in Connexus | No Comments

Last month we asked our staff this question:  if you didn't get to
be in ministry anymore, what is the one thing that you would miss
terribly six months or a year down the road?   I thought about the
question and the answer nailed me.  More than preaching, certainly more

Signs from Beyond – Getting Your Bible On…

Don't want to spoil week one of Signs from Beyond for people who haven't heard it, but if you were in the room, one thing you'll likely be thinking about this week is getting your hands on a Bible. While many of us might have a Bible, having one we can actually read and understand is [...]

Young and Looking (for an Extraordinary Opportunity)

Perhaps one of the best kept secrets for someone who is young and curious about what running a ministry like Connexus looks like behind the scenes, is the fact that we provide an opportunity to do just that!  An opportunity to  develop leadership skills and a chance to experience everything it takes to make our [...]
