Your Spirit,
Activated.
A new discipleship group for everyone at CONNECT: people still exploring faith, brand-new believers, and those who've followed Jesus for years. Small groups, real relationships, one simple rhythm each week.
What Is Activate
Discipleship, open
to everyone.
Activate is CONNECT's newest discipleship offering, built in step with what our mother church, 101 Church, is doing across its Mandarin congregation. It's a small group for anyone who wants to know Jesus more, no matter where you're starting from.
Right now, Activate runs as separate men's and women's groups, drawing on the trusted formats you may already know (Every Man a Warrior for the men, inductive Bible study for the women) under one shared curriculum. Co-ed groups may form down the road depending on interest and schedules.
Still Exploring
Not sure what you believe yet? Come with your questions. You don't need to have faith figured out to belong in the room.
New Believer
Recently said yes to Jesus and not sure what happens next? This is built to be your next step, not a lecture you have to survive.
Following for Years
Even longtime believers rarely slow down to actually understand what changed in them. There's more here for you too.
Why Activate
Activating what's
already inside you.
The name is the point. The moment you trust Jesus, your spirit is made new, not patched up, not improved, made new. Scripture calls it being a new creation. But most believers are never shown what that actually means or how to live from it day to day.
Lesson one starts in John 10, where Jesus names three very different figures in your life: the thief who comes only to steal, the hired hand who runs when things get hard, and the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for you. Activate is about learning to tell the difference, and to actually receive the life Jesus offers.
"Religion asks what you can do for God. Grace starts with what He's already done for you."
Grace Over Religion
Religion asks what you can do for God. Grace starts with what He's already done for you. We unpack the difference, and why it changes everything.
A New Identity
The moment you trust Jesus, your spirit is made new. Scripture calls you a new creation. Activate helps you actually understand and live from that, not just believe it in theory.
Real Relationship
Discipleship isn't a worksheet. It's a vertical relationship with God and a horizontal one with the people in your group, built week over week.
How It Works
One rhythm, two parts.
90 minutes · Whole group
Weekly Group Night
Once a week, your full group gathers for 90 minutes. You'll read Scripture out loud together, work through guided discussion questions, and talk honestly about how it applies to your actual life. No one just sits and listens.
15+ minutes · 2–4 people
Inter-weekly Check-Ins
Between in-person group nights, you'll stay connected with a smaller sub-group of 2-4 people online through the week. It's less about content and more about relationship: a quick call or voice message to share what stood out in your reading and pray for each other. Keep it to 15–25 minutes — short and simple, that's the point.
The weekly reading
Each week comes with a short Bible reading, a few chapters. You'll jot down a simple title, a one-line summary in your own words, and your favorite verse. It's quick, and it's what you'll bring to share in your sub-group.
Good Questions
Before you reach out.
No. Activate is for new and non-believers too. If you're curious about Jesus or still working through what you believe, you're welcome here. Most groups include a mix of longtime believers and people exploring faith for the first time.
Right now Activate runs as separate men's and women's groups. Co-ed groups may form in the future depending on interest and schedules.
Small on purpose, usually 4 to 8 people including your group leader. Small enough that everyone is known and no one disappears into the back row.
A few chapters of Scripture each week. You'll jot down a simple title, a one-line summary in your own words, and your favorite verse. It takes less time than you'd think, and it's what fuels your group discussion.
A full round runs about three months. Life happens, so if you miss a session, your leader will find a short time to catch you up one-on-one before the next week.
The only cost is the course book, NT$300. That's it, no other fees to join.
