UPDATE:
In 2011, the McGhees and Mayberrys moved to Astoria, Queens to start Connection Church with a desire to see people come to faith in Jesus and establish a healthy community. In 2019, Connection Church sent out the Mayberrys and other families from the church to Woodside, Queens to start Queens Church with a similar mission. And now, in 2024, Connection Church is officially joining with Queens Church. While this is the end of a season called Connection Church, it is not the end of the movement and mission of its people.
We want to express our heartfelt thanks to our community for warmly welcoming us thirteen years ago. We have loved sharing in so many fun activities and events over the years with you and your families. We thank our church partners for equipping us to serve in our community, and for sending your people to join us in the work. We thank the numerous interns who spent their summers serving alongside us to share the love of Jesus with our neighbors. And lastly, we thank everyone else who has supported and prayed for Connection over the years. We love all of you!
We are profoundly grateful that the legacy and ministry of Connection Church continues through Queens Church and through all of those who have spread out around the world (yes, the world) and continue connecting people to Jesus and one another. If you feel like you’ve missed us, we welcome you to join us at Queens Church on Sundays at 10am or noon!
For those of you wondering about the leadership of Connection Church; Pastor Daniel and Kari are stepping into new ministry roles with International Students, Inc. (ISI) and will be serving international students on university and college campuses around NYC and Long Island. They’re also excited about serving the church and the community as members of Queens Church. Reach out if you’re interested in learning more as they would love to share about their new ministry with ISI!
