Connect Christian Church is a non-denominational Christian Church located on the east side of Cincinnati, OH. The church is led by Lead Pastor Steve Enochs who is currently transitioning to the full Lead Pastor role, though has been the worship pastor on staff at Connect for about 4 years. The church currently has one modern worship styled service on Sunday mornings at 10:30a. Attendance currently runs around 100 each Sunday for their main worship gathering. The church also offers online live-streaming for those who are unable to be present, as well as for those who are desiring to check out the church.
The church is currently portable, not by limitations but intentionally. They meet in a local elementary school which allows them to have a unique missional tie to the community, as they experience many non-believers feeling comfortable coming through the doors of their local elementary school on a Sunday morning. Being portable also allows them to have minimal overhead, and focus their budget on their local community and missions.
