Bermondsey Connect Group
Welcome to htb bermondsey connect
Bermondsey Connect Group is more than just a gathering after the Sunday 9.30am service; it’s a non-judgemental space where faith, friendship and fellowship thrive. A cosy atmosphere filled with laughter, heartfelt conversations, and coffee. Whether you’re a seasoned believer or exploring faith for the first time, you’ll find open arms and genuine connections.
In our connect group, we dive into meaningful discussions, share life’s journey and support one another through prayer and community. People of all ages – individuals, friends or couples – are welcome, as together, we explore the teachings of Christ, seek spiritual growth and live out our faith in practical ways.
Join us on this journey where God’s love is experienced, and authentic community becomes a source of strength. Our church connect group is more than a meeting; it’s a family ready to welcome you with open hearts and open doors.
‘I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.’
John 15:5
What we do
Bermondsey Connect Group aims to foster a welcoming, friendly and relaxed environment where people can deepen their faith, nurture friendships and feel spiritually strengthened.
Through fellowship, bible studies, discussion and prayer, the group aims to equip and enable members to live out their faith in their daily lives and communities.
“Being part of the Connect Group has been such a joy and a blessing to me in so many ways. It has given me the opportunity to make strong friendships and I have a real sense of belonging.”

“The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.”
Isaiah 61:1
As a group, we are passionate about reaching out to those who do not yet know Jesus, particularly the vulnerable and marginalised in society.
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,”
Matthew 28:19

What we are not
The Connect Group is a community of faith and as such, we are committed to walking alongside each other through life’s challenges.
However, it is important to acknowledge that we are not professionally equipped to provide specialised expertise in matters of mental health or medical concerns. We will always encourage our members to seek professional guidance when needed and assure everyone that our role is to offer compassion, prayer and be a caring community.
Our aim is to create a space where individuals feel heard, valued and supported in their faith journey yet also recognising the importance of when to seek professional assistance for specific needs. Together, we can navigate the complexities of life with grace, understanding and the love that binds our community.
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another
