We are so excited about the number of testimonies that people are sharing with us every week! God is doing so much in people's lives that we wanted to create a page where people could read a short testimony from all kinds of different people that are a part of Connect. God Bless and enjoy what God is doing in people's lives at Connect.
~ Pastor Chad Lynn
I was diagnosed with cancer about a month before I found out I was pregnant with our twins. Through out the pregnancy I was tested every three months and every test showed the cancer was GONE. I chose to have preventative surgery June 8th. They found a small mass. Whether it is Benign or not, God is good And I trust him fully.
~ Lauren O’Dell
I am thankful for God’s faithfulness! I have just finished 33 years of teaching Kindergarten at PCA! Over the years I have seen young children make the decision to follow Jesus! My prayer is the Kingdom of God multiplies through their testimonies and service. As I turn the page to write a new chapter, I am excited for God to lead me in paths of new adventures for his glory!
~ Ruth Brown
Our family has been blessed by Connect these past 8 months. God has given us opportunities to serve in parking and kids ministries, get to know people through men's group (Brendan) and women's prayer (Julia), and be encouraged and stretched through the weekly worship and preaching. I believe God is using Connect in our lives as a place of stability, growth and encouragement. We look forward to growth in our walk with Jesus as we continue in fellowship here.
~ Brendan, Julia and Ella Cooney
Prior to finding God I was basically trying to find happiness in all the wrong places anyway I knew how. I was truly empty inside, living a very selfish & lonely life. I look back now and can see God was at work in my life even when I refused to acknowledge him. God rescued me from years and years of addiction and so much more,I was so lost. Not only did he save me even when I refused to acknowledge him , he began to make himself incredibly real to me. He overwhelmed me with his love for me.
~James Way
God has put my family back into my life and is healing a lot of brokenness!
~ Lisa Elliott
When I moved to the area about five years ago it took a long time for me to feel “at home.” I prayed that the Lord would give me people to serve and work with. He came through on both counts...AND He gave me the energy, at almost 75, to serve at C3, OB, and RISE!!! God. Is. So. Good. All. The. Time!!!
~Darlene Craig
The love of The Father constantly overwhelms me. Deliverance is often misunderstood in our circles of fellowship. It is not so much what I’ve been delivered from (my aunt was a practicing witch), but what I’ve been delivered into. Just as we talk about a baby’s delivery into life, the life in Jesus that The Father delivered me into has been full of little and big miracles! I’m so grateful. Specially grateful to the many who have walked beside me over the many years.
~Rob Brown
In August 2025, our contract on a house fell through after months of back and forth. We were heartbroken, but weeks later, we beat out 10 offers on a different home. It is an even better house and neighborhood—plus, our rescue dog’s sibling lives two houses down! God reminded us that His plans are always better than our own, and He cares deeply about every detail of our lives.
~Brendan & Leah Cosgrove
Melody & I really love Connect Church!! Our lives have been transformed by the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. We feel so loved and appreciated by the people. Pastor Chad & his wife Patty have been instrumental in prayer and much emotional healing. The same Judeo-Christian values that led our Founding Fathers 250 years ago, are still alive and well at Connect.
We are so blessed to have found our new home and we will continued to spread the good news to our community and abroad.
~Dave & Melody Costenbader
Jesus continues to change my life. He has broken down many hindrances against Him and allowed me such an intimate relationship in His presence through prayer. I've come to know a Savior who truly never leaves me or forsakes me and is a strong tower that I can run to. He is Soverign, He is alive, He speaks, He hears, He cares and He answers! I've found a friend in Jesus!
~Rachel Tappan
Pastor Chad's enthusiasm and timely messages has inspired me to stay in the race. The harvest is ripe and this church is getting ready to usher it in before Jesus returns. I am grateful to be a part of this.
~Yolanda Rowe
Connect has been our home church since 2019 and we absolutely love it here . Pastor Chad and Miss Patty are great leaders for our church . The Worship team is amazing and sets the stage for the entire Service .Both our children have been blessed by Pastor Dillon and Lydia as part of Connect Youth. Prior to Connect , we were just church attenders and Connect is where we really felt the call to service in various church ministries. We are so blessed to be part of the Connect Church Family.
~Hennet and Renita
When my son was 10 he had a terrible accident while on a sled being dragged by a 3 wheeler on the ice. As soon as I saw him on the ice, I immediately prayed and asked bystanders to pray as well. The Lord immediately answered me in my spirit and told me that everything would be alright. Sean had a severe head injury among other things, and even while the recovery was ongoing, I knew what God had told me. Unbelievably, the head injury that my son had caused no permanent damage! God is so good to us. I thank Him for taking the time to reassure me internally that everything would be ok.
~Debbie Huppe
God has brought me to and from this church many times for many reasons. It’s never been about the location or the building. Every time I stepped in this place, It always felt like home and I have always felt His presence here so strongly. It is one of my greatest blessings to now be attending with my husband and two grown daughters worshipping beside me. God mapped out His plan before I ever stepped in here at 5yrs old. I am truly grateful to continue here in this church full of love, faith, and community!

Celebration Sunday June 14, 2026 Baptism Testimonies
I love Jesus a lot and I want to obey him and follow him and stay low and close to him. God is helping me to trust him instead of controlling everything, I also love to read his word. I like to fish, but I really love being a fisher of men.
~Isaac Sears
Today I want to leave behind the person I was and step into a new life God has given me. Through faith in Jesus I am being made new and choosing to follow him with my whole heart.
~Luna Lyman
After unexpectedly discovering a brain tumor in January 2025, followed by brain surgery a year later, God has consistently shown up for me. Through all the fear and doubt, God's grace and his grace alone, is and always will be enough and I'm so grateful everyday for his grace on my life. Ephesians 2:8-9
~Brittany Root
This photo was taken just hours before I gave my life to Jesus. God met me exactly where I was, and I am getting baptized to celebrate the grace, love and new life He has given me.
~Adrianna Paolucci
God has been patiently working in my life, carrying me through struggles, failures, and new beginnings. Today I choose to be rebaptized as an outward expression of an inward transformation, leaving behind who I was and stepping forward in faith as I begin the next chapter God has planned for me.
~Curran Paolucci
Jesus showed me what life is meant to be. It has been by serving him and spreading love to all that I have been blessed to find a truly joyful life.
~Hannah Shields
When I called on Jesus into my life he pulled me out of my addictions, gave me a new heart and changed my life. I am getting baptized now as I need God in my life to become the man that he has planned for me to be.
~Blane Hart
For the past few months, I have gotten closer to God and I have really found myself through his love! I am so happy and privileged to be able to finally lay my life down to him completely, and get to do it right next to my dad! ‘If it wasn’t for the struggles, you wouldn’t be as strong as you are today. God is always building you up, even when it feels like he is breaking you down.’ Psalm 28:7
~Charlie Warren
“In the last few years I have felt Gods desire grow daily for me to be baptized. I am so happy and blessed to finally receive the Holy Spirit along side my daughter”
~Chris Warren
I’m learning to embrace change and remember my worth. Through church, God, and the Rise program, I’m seeing life in a whole new way and my perception has changed!
~Alexis Cochran
I want to get baptized because, I want to start a new beginning with God and to be more close to him. I want to try and leave my past behind me. I am thankful for everyone who has helped me and if they didn’t I probably wouldn’t be where I am today.
~Destinie Fowler
I want to be baptized to publicly declare my faith and obedience to Jesus Christ, symbolizing the washing away of my sins.
~Teagan O'Halloran
This is not the start of my faith—it’s a celebration of what Christ has already done in my life.
~Derek Adams
I am so excited for this baptism, to begin this new chapter as I walk with Christ and accept Him fully in my life!
