Congregation Connect

Staying connected. Caring for one another. Growing together in faith.

Congregation Connect is designed to strengthen relationships and ensure that every person at Providence feels known, supported, and cared for.

Providence households are organized into 10 groups, each connected with a Shepherding Elder. These elders periodically reach out to the households in their group to check in, stay connected, and learn how our church family can offer support, prayer, and encouragement along the journey of faith.

Through Congregation Connect, everyone at Providence has a direct connection to a church leader. Our Shepherding Elders are here to listen, pray with you, encourage you, and walk alongside you through both the joys and challenges of life.

You are part of our church family, and we want to stay connected with you.
