Connect Groups
What are Connect Groups?
Connect Groups are the life blood of our church. They offer opportunities to create community and forge meaningful relationships within our church. These small home-based groups meet to fellowship and discuss various topics from The Word of God.
What Happens in a Connect Group?
Connect Group meetings are built around video-based teachings which include: relevant Bible teachings, explorng specific topics, discussions of TPHND sermons, and reading select Christian books. Group meetings are designed to give group members time to get to know each other, study God’s Word , pray for each other, and to have fun!
We have groups that meet onsite at the church and offsite in homes and other venues around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. There are groups for men, women, singles, married, and special interests. Whether you are looking for a place to meet new friends, connect to a mentor, grow spiritually or serve your community, there’s a Connect Group for you!
How to Get Connected
Our goal is to help you find opportunities to build authentic and genuine relationships with the people you worship with each week. Since our Connect Groups are relationship based we encourage you to find some of your friends and start a group together. Hosting a group is easy and we’ll provide you with all the tools you need to lead a group successfully.
If you’re new to the area and need some help finding a group please provide your information HERE and we’ll respond back with some potential groups that are close to you.
Have kids?
The Potter’s House of North Dallas does not determine childcare provision for groups. It is left up to the host and the group to brainstorm solutions for meeting childcare needs.
Host a Group, Change a Life!
Psalms 133:1 says Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is our vision at The Potter’s House of North Dallas to not only worship together, but to do life together.

Moving Beyond the Basics…
After the 4 to 6 week series, we encourage our connect groups to continue. Whether they meet weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, a group host can request that that the group continue as a book, interest or sermon based group.
Video-based Groups. We have thousands of resources for your group through Right Now Media. Click HERE for free access to RightNow Media — the largest Video Bible Study Library in the world!

Book-based Groups. A book based group uses a book or resource to continue their group. We’re happy to provide a list of suggested readings. If the book you’d like to use isn’t on our list just simply send over the title to one of our Connect Group specialists to assist with getting it approved.
Interest Based Groups. An interest based group focuses on common interests of its members such as sports, yoga, cooking, fitness, music, baking, painting/art, tennis, fishing, hunting, jewelry making, dance, cycling, etc…
