We gather as a community in a variety of ways.
As a Christian community, we are passionate about building community in our local area and exploring faith in many and varied ways.
We believe that Jesus is for everyone, therefore all are welcome to any of our events.

Sundays
We hold a Sunday pattern lightly, to allow for time to connect well with our friends and neighbours.
First Sunday of the month – Community Action where we meet to serve our community in various, practical ways in various locations. Sign-up for our information email or check facebook for further details.
Second Sunday of the month – We are seeking to grow hubs – these are networks of friends who meet in people’s homes across Poole. We try to at least meet monthly to work out how to live out our core values and way of life. Each hub is setting a rhythm of gathering which is appropriate for their friends. The best way to find out what your nearest hub is doing through the month, is to drop us an email and we’ll put you in touch with them.
Third Sunday of the month – space is held open to allow time for connecting with family and friends, building community.
Fourth Sunday of the month – “The Gathering” is our expression of worship and will normally be held outside in various locations around Poole. We use this time to explore who God is using His creation, the Bible and the world around us. Communion is shared simply and regularly. We aim to make this accessible for all, including younger disciples. The event normally starts at 3pm and lasts for one hour, finishing with drinks and cake! Checkout facebook for further details.
Alongside this regular rhythm, there are seasonal gatherings and events to look out for.
Prayer
Prayer is an important aspect in the life of Reconnect. We accept that there are many ways to pray, both as individuals and collectively.
If you would like to know more or learn about prayer or how to be involved in prayer, please contact us via our contact page.
First Monday in the month – ‘Quiet Space’ is a reflective prayer space using contemplative and quiet prayer.
For further details of time and locations please contact us and ask to be added to our prayer email.
Third Monday in the month – An evening meeting of worship and prayer, in which we listen to God on behalf of one another.
Discipleship
Learning together and exploring faith is an important part of Reconnect life. The best place for this kind of learning is to link in with the discipleship rhythm of a local hub. Wherever you feel you are on your faith journey, you are welcome to join in. For further details please contact us.
