We are so excited about the number of testimonies that people are sharing with us every week! God is doing so much in people's lives that we wanted to create a page where people could read a short testimony from all kinds of different people that are a part of Connect. God Bless and enjoy what God is doing in people's lives at Connect.

I was diagnosed with cancer about a month before I found out I was pregnant with our twins. Through out the pregnancy I was tested every three months and every test showed the cancer was GONE. I chose to have preventative surgery June 8th. They found a small mass. Whether it is Benign or not, God is good And I trust him fully.

I am thankful for God’s faithfulness! I have just finished 33 years of teaching Kindergarten at PCA! Over the years I have seen young children make the decision to follow Jesus! My prayer is the Kingdom of God multiplies through their testimonies and service. As I turn the page to write a new chapter, I am excited for God to lead me in paths of new adventures for his glory!

Our family has been blessed by Connect these past 8 months. God has given us opportunities to serve in parking and kids ministries, get to know people through men's group (Brendan) and women's prayer (Julia), and be encouraged and stretched through the weekly worship and preaching. I believe God is using Connect in our lives as a place of stability, growth and encouragement. We look forward to growth in our walk with Jesus as we continue in fellowship here.

Prior to finding God I was basically trying to find happiness in all the wrong places anyway I knew how. I was truly empty inside, living a very selfish & lonely life. I look back now and can see God was at work in my life even when I refused to acknowledge him. God rescued me from years and years of addiction and so much more,I was so lost. Not only did he save me even when I refused to acknowledge him , he began to make himself incredibly real to me. He overwhelmed me with his love for me.

God has put my family back into my life and is healing a lot of brokenness!
~ Lisa Elliott
When I moved to the area about five years ago it took a long time for me to feel “at home.” I prayed that the Lord would give me people to serve and work with. He came through on both counts...AND He gave me the energy, at almost 75, to serve at C3, OB, and RISE!!! God. Is. So. Good. All. The. Time!!!
~Darlene Craig
The love of The Father constantly overwhelms me. Deliverance is often misunderstood in our circles of fellowship. It is not so much what I’ve been delivered from (my aunt was a practicing witch), but what I’ve been delivered into. Just as we talk about a baby’s delivery into life, the life in Jesus that The Father delivered me into has been full of little and big miracles! I’m so grateful. Specially grateful to the many who have walked beside me over the many years.

In August 2025, our contract on a house fell through after months of back and forth. We were heartbroken, but weeks later, we beat out 10 offers on a different home. It is an even better house and neighborhood—plus, our rescue dog’s sibling lives two houses down! God reminded us that His plans are always better than our own, and He cares deeply about every detail of our lives.
~Brendan & Leah Cosgrove
Melody & I really love Connect Church!! Our lives have been transformed by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. We feel so loved and appreciated by the people. Pastor Chad & his wife Patty have been instrumental in prayer and much emotional healing. The same Judeo-Christian values that led our Founding Fathers 250 years ago, are still alive and well at Connect.
We are so blessed to have found our new home and we will continued to spread the good news to our community and abroad.

Jesus continues to change my life. He has broken down many hindrances against Him and allowed me such an intimate relationship in His presence through prayer. I've come to know a Savior who truly never leaves me or forsakes me and is a strong tower that I can run to. He is Soverign, He is alive, He speaks, He hears, He cares and He answers! I've found a friend in Jesus!
~Rachel Tappan
Pastor Chad's enthusiasm and timely messages has inspired me to stay in the race. The harvest is ripe and this church is getting ready to usher it in before Jesus returns. I am grateful to be a part of this.

Connect has been our home church since 2019 and we absolutely love it here . Pastor Chad and Miss Patty are great leaders for our church . The Worship team is amazing and sets the stage for the entire Service .Both our children have been blessed by Pastor Dillon and Lydia as part of Connect Youth. Prior to Connect , we were just church attenders and Connect is where we really felt the call to service in various church ministries. We are so blessed to be part of the Connect Church Family.
