Our Story
Sometimes God calls you to do something bold. And sometimes, you summon the courage to say yes. That's our story. After 111 years of dedication to sharing the love of God in Jesus Christ with the people of Odessa, God called us to do a new thing. We were led to sell our historic building and set out on a new adventure. We bought and remodeled a new building, changed our name from "First" to "Connection" to reflect our heart for Odessa, and committed to reach out with the radically inclusive gospel more broadly than ever before. We moved into our new location on Tanglewood in March of 2019.)
Maybe you've been sensing God nudging you to live more freely, to love more boldly, and to reach more widely in your life. Then we hope you'll join our story of saying "yes" to God together!
