GET CONNECTED
At Ascende Global, we believe it is essential that everyone who comes through our doors feels welcomed, connected with God, and connected with great people to do life with!
While Sundays are a time to join together as a church, Connect Groups are designed to be fun, relevant and a time to grow in God and His word while building authentic relationships.

MEET: FORTNIGHTLY
FRIDAYS PM
FLAXMERE
Kia ora! Rachel (our host) and I, Petarina (facilitator), have a heart to gather with God’s people around His infallible Word. As His church, one with Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we desire to grow together, be taught by the Lord, and be transformed into His image.
Our heart is to create a safe, warm space where we can seek God together, be strengthened in our faith, and grow in understanding of His Word, trusting Him to connect us with those He has called to walk this journey with us.
Our prayer echoes Paul’s words in Ephesians 3:14–19, that we would be strengthened by Holy Spirit, rooted and grounded in love, and filled with the fullness of God.
