Connect

Join a Connect Group

Home Groups
(8-15 people)

Small groups of eight to fifteen people that meet mid-week together to encourage one another, pray, and interact with scripture. Each home group will look different due to the people leading and attending it. However, they all have the same overarching goal. They are about Christian community - where discipleship, belonging and care happens.

Align Groups
(3-4 people)

Align is a group of three to four people that meet up regularly to contend for each other's faith. These groups intentionally implement the practices of Jesus, helping each other to be closer with Jesus, become like him and do the things he did.

Interest Groups
(numbers vary)

These groups come together around common interests or mission. Like the other Connect Groups they are founded on prayer, scripture and encouraging one another. This could look like a cycling group catching up for coffee after a ride, a family board-game night, a walking group, or parents with the mission of reaching their school community.

Next Steps

Baptism

Baptism is a public declaration that someone has decided to follow Jesus and is an important step and celebration in the Christian journey. It is a chance to share how you came to know God and trust in Christ as your Saviour and friend.

Membership

If you are over 18, baptised by immersion, and have been attending Wynnum for at least 6 months and are sure that this church is a place you can call home then membership may be a next step for you. It is a way to formalise your commitment to our family, give and receive support in your Christian life and be involved in important decisions for our church. If you would like to learn more or apply for membership, then you can attend our next membership course (contact the church office to enquire).

Dedication

A dedication is a celebration in which parents give thanks to God for the gift of their child and make a promise to the Lord to do everything within their power to raise their child in a godly and prayerful way until he or she can make a decision on his or her own to follow God through placing their faith and trust in Jesus. It is also a time when the church commits to walking alongside you as you point your child to Jesus. If you would like to learn more about dedicating your child, we would encourage you to contact the church office or email kids@wybc.org.au. Our Faith Pathway document also contains more information about dedication.

Prayer

Why pray?

Prayer is a direct line of communication with God. When we pray, we don’t yell into the wind but speak to God who hears us and answers us. We believe that prayer is also a place where God does powerful things like bring emotional and physical healing and guide us in our life.

How?

Our prayer meetings are open for anyone to attend and are on Tuesday mornings at 6:00am and Sunday mornings at 8:15am. If you would like someone to pray for you, please send your requests below.
