Lead Pastors: Peter + Nadia
Connect 417 Church was birthed out of a simple idea to help people find a personal and meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ and find their creative purpose. Our goal is to help people who don’t know Jesus and people who had a church experience void of a connection to God.
From the very beginning, Connect was determined to provide a safe place for people in different stages on their journey of faith to grow spiritually. Our worship style and messages are passionate and engaging, and our atmosphere is relaxed and casual. We highly value relationships and encourage people to join Small Groups, which are based on seasons of life or interest.
We are passionate about people finding hope through faith in Jesus. We are excited about what God is doing in Connect Church and invite you to become part of the family. Come and see how exciting church can be!

Holy Bible
The Holy Bible, and only the Bible, is the authoritative Word of God. It alone is the final authority in determining all doctrinal truths. In its original writing, it is inspired, infallible and inerrant.2 TIMOTHY 3:16; 2 PETER 1:20-21; PROVERBS 30:5; ROMANS 16:25-26
Trinity
There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. These three are coequal and co-eternal.I JOHN 5:7; GENESIS 1:26; MATTHEW 3:16-17, 28:19; LUKE 1:35; ISAIAH 9:6; HEBREWS 3:7-11
Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is God the Son, the second person of the Trinity. On earth, Jesus was 100% God and 100% man. He is the only man ever to have lived a sinless life. He was born of a virgin, performed miracles, died on the cross for mankind and thus, atoned for our sins through the shedding of His blood. He rose from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will return again in power and glory.JOHN 1:1,14, 20:28; I TIMOTHY 3:16; ISAIAH 9:6; PHILIPPIANS 2:5-6; I TIMOTHY 2:5
Virgin Birth
Jesus Christ was conceived by God the Father, through the Holy Spirit (the third person of the Trinity) in the virgin Mary’s womb; therefore, He is the Son of God.MATTHEW 1:18, 25; LUKE 1:35; ISAIAH 7:14; LUKE 1:27-35
Redemption
Man was created good and upright, but by voluntary transgression he fell; his only hope of redemption is in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.GEN. 1:26-31, 3:1-7; ROMANS 5:12-21
Regeneration
For anyone to know God, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.JOHN 6:44, 65; MATTHEW 19:28; TITUS 3:5
Salvation
We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ: His death, burial, and resurrection. Salvation is a gift from God, not a result of our good works or of any human efforts.EPHESIANS 2:8-9; GALATIANS 2:16, 3:8; TITUS 3:5; ROMANS 10:9-10; ACTS 16:31; HEBREWS 9:22
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is manifested through a variety of spiritual gifts to build and sanctify the church, demonstrate the validity of the resurrection, and confirm the power of the Gospel. The Bible lists of these gifts are not necessarily exhaustive, and the gifts may occur in various combinations. All believers are commanded to earnestly desire the manifestation of the gifts in their lives. These gifts always operate in harmony with the Scriptures and should never be used in violation of Biblical parameters.HEBREWS 2:4; ROMANS 1:11, 12:4-8; EPHESIANS 4:16; 1 TIMOTHY 4:14; 2 TIMOTHY 1:6-7; I CORINTHIANS 12:1-31, 14:1-40; I PETER 4:10
Repentance
Repentance is the commitment to turn away from sin in every area of our lives and to follow Christ, which allows us to receive His redemption and to be regenerated by the Holy Spirit. Thus, through repentance we receive forgiveness of sins and appropriate salvation.ACTS 2:21, 3:19; I JOHN 1:9
Sanctification
Sanctification is the ongoing process of yielding to God’s Word and His Spirit to complete the development of Christ’s character in us. it is through the present ministry of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God that the Christian is enabled to live a Godly life.I THESSALONIANS 4:3, 5:23; II CORINTHIANS 3:18, 6:14-18, II THESSALONIANS 2:1-3, ROMANS 8:29, 12:1-2, HEBREWS 2:11
The Church
The church is the Body of Christ, the habitation of God through the Spirit, with divine appointments for the fulfillment of Jesus’ Great Commission. Every person who is born of the Spirit is an integral part of the church as a member of the body of believers. There is a spiritual unity of all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.EPHESIANS 1:22, 2:19-22; HEBREWS 12:23; JOHN 17:11, 20-23
Jesus’ Blood
The Blood that Jesus Christ shed on the Cross of Calvary was sinless and is 100% sufficient to cleanse mankind of all sin. Jesus allowed Himself to be punished for both our sinfulness and our sins, enabling all those who believe to be free from the penalty of sin, which is death.I JOHN 1:7; REVELATION 1:5, 5:9; COLOSSIANS 1:20; ROMANS 3:10-12, 23, 5:9; JOHN 1:29
Baptism in the Holy Spirit
Given at Pentecost, it is the promise of the Father, sent by Jesus after His Ascension, to empower the Church to preach the Gospel throughout the whole earth.JOEL 2:28-29; MATTHEW 3:11; MARK 16:17; ACTS 1:5 ,2:1-4, 17, 38-39, 8:14-17, 10:38, 44-47, 11:15-17, 19:1-6
Jesus’ Blood Indwells All Believers
Christians are people who have invited the Lord Jesus Christ to come and live inside them by His Holy Spirit. They relinquish the authority of their lives over to him thus making Jesus the Lord of their life as well as Savior. They put their trust in what Jesus accomplished for them when He died, was buried, and rose again from the dead.JOHN 1:12; JOHN 14:17, 23; JOHN 15:4; ROMANS 8:11; REVELATION 3:20
God’s Will for Provision
It is the Father’s will for believers to become whole, healthy and successful in all areas of life. But because of the fall, many may not receive the full benefits of God’s will while on Earth. That fact, though, should never prevent all believers from seeking the full benefits of Christ’s provision in order to better serve others.- Spiritual

Healing of the Sick
Healing of the sick is illustrated in the life and ministry of Jesus, and included in the commission of Jesus to His disciples.
