Connection Ministry is dedicated to seeking the heart of God, growing in the knowledge of His word, and experiencing the beauty of His Holiness.

What does that mean? It’s really simple. God wants to be known, and He wants to know you. You can know God, and you can experience His presence. You can understand God and relate with Him because he designed you in His image. The longing you feel to be connected is there because the one who designed you longs to be in relationship with you! We want you to know Jesus, the one who has given us hope and eternal life!

Connection Ministry is a small group of young adults who desire to grow deep in their faith and in authentic relationships with one another. Although there are mostly single adults in our community we feel that God is challenging us to think ahead, to think of our future families, to become the whole and healthy men and women who will foster the next generation of Christ followers. We would love for you to join us on this journey of faith as we seek to honor God and one another.

Meet the Pastor

Hello, and welcome to the Connection Ministry!
My name is John McGaughy (pronounced McGoy), though most call me PJ, and I’m the English pastor here at ATPC Connection Ministry. I’ve had the privilege of serving in ministry for over 16 years alongside my wife, Jeanie. We have four wonderful children—Jaeden, Charis, Liam, and Addie—who actively serve both in their schools and in ministry. My passion is to see lives transformed by the gospel and to help others grow in intimacy with Christ and with one another. We would love to see you this Sunday, and I hope you’ll prayerfully consider joining us as we seek to become more like Jesus together.
