Getting connected at Skycrest is about relationships that get beneath the surface. Those kinds of relationships don't come simply by attending a worship service. They happen in smaller settings where people really get to know each other over time. That's why it's important for you to consider joining one of our connection groups as the next step in your spiritual journey.
 

Most of our groups meet at 9 a.m. Sundays here on our campus. If that time isn't convenient for you, there are several others that meet in homes during the week. Take a look at the connection group listing below, find the one that best fits your life circumstance and then check it out. You'll be glad you did!
