At LIVEfree Church, we believe we’re better when we’re connected. Whether you’re new, searching, growing or simply looking to do life alongside others, there’s a connect group waiting to welcome you just as you are.
​
No matter your age, stage, interests or schedule, we have a group designed for you. You are welcome to visit more than one until you find your best fit… because our heart is simple:
Don’t just attend – be connected!
​
What is a Connect Group?
Connect Groups are smaller gatherings of the LIVEfree Church COLLECTIVE, meeting weekly in homes and local spaces across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and surrounding suburbs.
They are spaces where you can:
​
-
Journey in faith alongside others
Share, grow and ask honest questions without judgement. -
Pray together & enjoy community
There’s always room for fun (and usually food!). -
Be encouraged and equipped
Groups often explore a specific resource, short video, study booklet or scripture to spark meaningful discussion. -
Build deep friendships & find support
With 6–15 people in each group, you’ll be known, not just seen.
Our Connect Group Leaders
Sal & Kurt Linde

Sal and Kurt are passionate about creating safe, real spaces where people don’t just gather, they belong.
Leading with warmth and authenticity, they unpack scripture in relatable ways and cultivate a group environment where laughter, prayer and practical encouragement go hand in hand.​
Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or are still figuring it out, Sal and Kurt make room for you at the table. ​
