Here at Connect Church, we passionately believe in discipleship, raising leaders and helping people to develop the call of God on their life. We believe that Bible College is one of the greatest opportunities to develop the leadership gifting in your life along with equipping you for a life of ministry and serving God. It is our heart that everyone who participates in bible college will come away enriched, empowered and equipped for wherever God leads them.

We have therefore partnered with Youth Alive to deliver what we believe is an incredible year of investment and impartation into your life as we host the Bendigo location of Youth Alive Leadership Academy.
