Linworth's "Everyone In Ministry" program encourages and promotes the belief that every one of us is called to minister to and serve others.  Everyone is encouraged to offer their gifts, talents, and passions to God in service to others.  Being the hands and heart of Jesus is a deeply held commitment at Linworth.

More than just words we express, more than the warmth of loving Christ, more than the engagement of the study of the Word of God with church friends, our faith is an expression of God's work within us.

Connectional Groups

Look over the Connectional Groups listed here. Select one and give the leader of that group a call or send an email. Visit one or several groups and see where you best connect with others. Linworth is a large church and we believe connecting with a small group is critical to our individual need to know and be known.
