Welcome to Connect Church
You belong here. Welcome to Connect Church. Our desire for Connect Church is to be a home where all people experience comfort, belonging, safety and love that leads people to Jesus!
MISSION: Being transformed by Jesus. Leading people to Him.
VISION: A world transformed by the gospel of Jesus.
The center of all we do at Connect Church is the gospel of Jesus Christ. Even though our history dates back to 1866, we desire that people now and in the future will have a passionate relationship with Jesus through our presence in Pella. This relationship is our desire because Jesus transforms lives!
No matter your church or religious background, you are welcome here at Connect Church! Come join us in worship so that you may come in contact with Jesus and, if you are looking for a church home, join us in membership so together we may be the hands of Jesus who lead people to Him.
