CONNECT GROUPS

At Columbia Heights Assembly we believe that effective discipleship happens best in both rows and circles. Our spiritual formation is greatly enhanced when we get involved in each others lives; God created us for relationships and we want to provide you with a space where relationships can grow. Our connect Groups, what we call small groups within our church, is the easiest way to better connect with others. Our groups meet together in various settings where participants can make friends and grow spiritually.

Find your circle.

7 Pillars of Freedom

Thursday Mornings from 6:30-8 AM // Conference Room
$65
Many men who struggle with sexual brokenness try to go it alone. They believe the lie that sexual brokenness is about sex; when really, it’s about medicating the pain in their lives. Despite their losses—marriage, ministry, relationships, and more—they continue to return to unwanted sexual behaviors.
But the truth is, we cannot fix a problem if we don’t know what’s causing it.
Through the Seven Pillars of Freedom you’ll start to understand your whole story and identify what contributes to your sexual brokenness. You will begin your recovery from unwanted sexual behavior with a trusted group of men on the same journey. Through Seven Pillar’s guided lessons and a trusted community, you will develop the tools necessary to break free, heal your relationship, and take back your life.
