First Fridays
How can we trust the Bible when there are so many conflicting interpretations?
What does church mean when you can listen to countless sermons on your smartphone?
As a church, we want to tackle these and other difficult topics, so join us for one or all of our First Fridays.
We will gather this summer on Fridays in June, July, and August, from 6:30-8:00pm, for casual but crucial conversations about discipleship today.
We’ll have dessert & refreshments, and childcare will be available. Registration opens soon.
