ABOUT US
Connections is an English congregation that is affiliated with the First Evangelical Church of San Gabriel Valley, a multi-cultural and multi-generational church started in 1987 with services conducted in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. Through discipleship and vibrant communities, we learn what it means to connect with Jesus personally and as a body. We value building deeper relationships with each other in the community. Our vision is to multiply three healthy generations of followers to change the nation. Our mission is to reproduce mature and Spirit-led followers of Jesus.
