Connection Groups not only provide a sense of community but they also encourage spiritual growth. At Skyline, we define spiritual maturity as continued progress in three vital relationships; reaching up to God, reaching out to others, and reaching out to the community. Maturing believers grow in community with one another, spending time together, and encouraging and supporting each other through life.
Connection Groups are a place where new friendships are formed and are designed to help you grow spiritually while connecting with those around you. If you wish to develop life-long friendships and build spiritual maturity, we encourage you to join a Connection Group. During a typical meeting you will study the Bible, discuss how it applies to everyday life, and pray for each other. Many groups also enjoy attending sporting events, concerts and other social activities together.

Waking the Dead by John Eldredge - Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” That’s the offer of Christianity, from God himself.
Just look at what happens when people are touched by Jesus—the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life. In other words, to be touched by God is to be restored. To become all God meant you to be. That is what Christianity is supposed to do for you—make you whole, set you free, bring you fully alive.
But Jesus also warned that the path to that life is narrow, and few people would find it. You’ll notice few have. Waking the Dead will help you find that life, see the fierce battle over your heart, and embrace all that God has for you.
