TRANSFORMING LIVES THROUGH
COMMUNITY

A Missional movement restoring hope, rebuilding lives and transforming communities. Isaiah 61

“I See Kings”

Over 15 years ago, after God set me free from years of drug addiction and imprisonment, He gave me a powerful night dream of how He sees those in prison—not defined by their past, but as people of extraordinary potential, future leaders and agents of transformation in their communities.

PEOPLE ARE
MORE THAN
THEIR PAST.

The right relationships can open up a different future: community, faith, confidence and the opportunity to give back.

WHO WE ARE

The Connect Network partners with national churches to cultivate organic, welcoming missional communities where individuals who found faith in prison, along with their wider families and communities, can belong, contribute, and thrive.

This partnership with the connect network and Junction 42 has not only allowed us to reach deeper into those communities with the love of God. It has also mobilised our church up, into more effectively serving and demonstrating Gods love to those areas in Teesside.

After living as homeless drug addicts in a tent in central Middlesbrough, a couple found hope at Middlesbrough Connect, where they embraced the transformative power of Jesus and began their journey of recovery. Now, with regular discipleship, a new home, freedom from addiction, and a job at Iceland, they are rebuilding their lives.
