The Connection 101 event is the process through which people go who want to become members, want to plug in and get involved or just want to become more familiar with Woodland Park. This one day event will assist you in understanding our philosophy of ministry, acquaint you with the various ministries, and assimilate you into the body-life of the Woodland Park family. A luncheon and interview a week or two after the event will serve to confirm your membership. Food, door prizes, videos, Q & A with various staff members and small group discussion make up just a part of this fun filled, informative event you won’t want to miss!

Topics include:

• Connecting to a Church
  What is a church? What should a church look like? Learn about our philosophy of ministry that drives Woodland Park.
• Connecting through Community
  Community is a core need every human being has whether he or she realizes it or not. Learn how you can be blessed and bless others by being a part of the smaller community.
• Connecting through Relationship
  Some ask, "What is your religion?" Is "religion" the answer? Discover the difference between religion and relationship and what God says about both.
• Connecting for Growth
  Is spiritual maturity something we can arrive at or is it a life-long process? Learn more about this issue and the necessary elements for spiritual maturity.
• Connecting to Serve
  How has God gifted or "wired" you? You may wonder where you can serve in the body of Christ. Discover what area of ministry you are passionate about, how you are gifted, and how these blend together.
• Connecting to Your World
  How can we make a difference in today's society? Discover how we can carry out Christ's mandate to proclaim His mission and the many ways you can be involved.
