Life Konnect Cells
The GCC Life group has half a dozen Konnect Cells which meet weekly for fellowship and fun. Following is an overview of some of the Cells.
CONNECT - ENJOY - RELATE – PEOPLE 25+
Leaders - Shona and Tania
We meet weekly in different member's homes in Pakuranga, Royal Oak and Ellerslie.
We start off each week sharing drinks and home baking and catching up on everyone's news. We then move into a DVD-based Bible study which cell members take in turns to facilitate.
We use the DVDs as a starting point and our discussion goes on from there, and we conclude our evenings with a session of open prayer.
Our cell group ages range from early 20s to late 30s and is a mixture of couples and singles. We enjoy doing social activities as a group and interacting with the rest of the Life group as a whole.
Leaders - John and Maree
We are part of a welcoming and friendly home-group of professional guys and girls in the 30+ age group. We meet on Wednesday evenings at 7.30pm on a weekly basis alternating between Mt Albert and One Tree Hill areas.
Join us for fellowship over a cuppa before we begin each week's study. We open the evening in prayer and close the evening bringing our prayer points/needs before God. Our interactive Bible studies with opportunity for discussion, will include books/characters from the Bible as well as topical studies relating to issues relevant to us. One of our key verses for this group is taken from Hebrews 10:24-25 "And let us spur one another on toward love and good deeds...let us encourage one another". Prayer and praise evenings will be included in our group calendar. We also have opportunities for fellowship with fun social activities on a monthly basis. As a group we really want to encourage one another to connect with God, grow in our faith as we journey together in our service for Him.

Leaders - John and Hayley
Our group is committed to being a loving community, growing in Christ, being real & relevant witnesses of Jesus.
We meet every Wednesday in Glen Innes to share our thoughts and experiences in a warm and friendly environment followed by supper. Most evenings involve an interactive study and prayer. Every month or so we’ll chill out with a purely social evening. We are mostly professionals, and range in age from about 25 to 35 years.
The goals of our group are:
Connecting in authentic community.
Help cultivate healthy disciples.
Encourage & help grow everyone’s spiritual gifts.
Celebrate what God has done with worship & prayer.
Provide opportunities to service the local community e.g. Habitat for Humanity house builds.
Leaders - Mark and Rachael
Our cell group meets every Wednesday evening at 7:30pm in the Greenlane / One Tree Hill / Mt Wellington area. The group consists of both singles and couples, and the approximate age range is mid 30's to early 40's.
We start with coffee and supper, then usually do a study or have a time of sharing. The studies vary and we quite often do a DVD study series, or do topical studies, or members of the group take individual studies in a topic they are interested in.
Apart from study nights we also have worship/prayer nights and social nights - which might be a DVD at someone's house, a games evening, an event such as ten pin bowling, or a combined social event with one of the other cell groups.
Our cell groups are lots of fun and we share a lot of laughs. We would like to think we are both welcoming and friendly. Come along - check us out!
It's about people doing LIFE together.
