We run various events through the year, with weekly, fortnightly, monthly, and seasonal events being organised constantly. Stay up to date with what is happening at HCLC below, and explore the latest information about our events and meetings!
OUR CONNECT GROUPS EXIST BECAUSE HCLC RECOGNISES THE VALUE OF CONNECTION THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP, NURTURING AND
ACCOUNTABILITY.
CONNECT GROUPS ALLOW US TO MAKE FRIENDS, DEVELOP OUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS AND CONNECT WITH OTHERS IN MEANINGFUL WAYS. CONNECT
GROUPS ARE MADE UP OF SMALL GROUPS OF PEOPLE MEETING TOGETHER REGULARLY IN INFORMAL ENVIRONMENTS.
NEXT ON:
DISCIPLESHIP: WHERE TOGETHER WE INCREASINGLY LEARN TO LIVE, LOVE AND LOOK LIKE JESUS. A PLACE TO STUDY GODâS WORD AND ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER IN KNOWING OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST.
NURTURING: WHERE WE SINCERELY AND AUTHENTICALLY CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER. WHERE WE CAN BE VULNERABLE AND PRAY TOGETHER.
ACCOUNTABILITY: A SAFE PLACE WHERE TRUST RUNS DEEP AND WE CAN ENCOURAGE AND CHALLENGE ONE ANOTHER TO BE LIVING THE LIFE GOD HAS CALLED US TO.
DONâT MISS OUT ON THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF A CONNECT GROUP. ITâS AN INTEGRAL PART OF CHURCH LIFE WHERE WE GROW IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD AND OTHERS.
CONNECT GROUPS WITHIN HCLC ARE VARIED AND DISTINCT ~ EACH WITH THEIR OWN FLAVOUR AND CHARACTERISTICS. YOUâRE SURE TO FIND ONE THAT SUITS YOUR NEEDS.
Why do we pray? When we pray incredible things begin to happen. We take our problems and battles to a new level when we pray. So, when your group learns to pray, your community will enter into a new and much more exciting relationship with God and your world.

The Bible tells us to âpray without ceasingâ (1 Thess. 5:17), âpraying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spiritâ (Eph. 6:18). Jesus Himself taught âthat men always ought to pray and not lose heartâ (Lk 18:1). Perhaps, though, we are tempted to skip over the words âwithout ceasingâ and âalways.â Surely thatâs just impossible anyway, we might think. And yet, it is the plain teaching of Godâs Word. Those who trust in Christ are called to âpray without ceasing.â
Do you ever find yourself struggling to know what to pray for? You want to make prayer part of your daily routine, but you feel like you are repeating yourself?
Jesus, help me to remember that You love me and that I need You and Your love every day. Thank You that who I am and how You feel about me is based on who You are and Your love for me.
âAS IRON SHARPENS IRON, SO ONE MAN SHARPENS ANOTHER.â - PROVERBS 27:17

It is important to meet to encourage one another. To assist each other in easy and tough times, to push
each other further towards God and our relationships with Him.
What do we talk about?
We get to know each other more and more deeply â sharing our hearts and lives, praying for one another,
asking questions, and bearing each otherâs burdens. We will be persistent learners of one another and the Word of God.
Why is it important to meet? Community is deeply grounded in the nature of God. It flows from who God is. Because he is community, he creates community. It is his gift of himself to humans. Therefore, the making of community may not be regarded as an optional decision for Christians.
âAnd let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.â - Hebrews 10:24-25

overcome the wicked one.â- 1 John 2:14.
Its important for Young adults to meet together consistently and build each other up as this world becomes harder to live in.
