Why Connect?

In this message from our Why? campaign, Pastor Lynda Heron explores the question “Why Connect?” and the vital role of connection in the life of every believer. Preached at Elim Northampton on 11th January 2026, this sermon focuses on the purpose of Connect Groups and why being part of a group in church matters—so that no one has to do life or faith alone.

Pastor Lynda unpacks three key areas of connection:

• Connect to people – building meaningful, supportive relationships

• Connect to church – belonging, serving, and growing together

• Connect to God – deepening faith through community and discipleship

Whether you’re new to church or have been part of the family for years, this message will encourage you to take a step towards authentic connection and shared faith.
