Each session includes a video with counselors/experts followed by a support group discussion.

The 18/30 Group
Leader: Ian Martin
The idea is to build community for 18-30 year olds. We'll start with dinner together, then spend about 90 mins in study/discussion. Through the year we'll rotate between doing small group studies, to open discussion on spiritual topics, to sharing our stories, worship nights and social nights. Our biggest thing is providing a safe space to discuss tough topics and explore the foundations of Christian faith. In our experience, this is the ideal type of venue for deep friendships, belonging, and real spiritual growth. We can't wait to get started! Tuesdays 6:30pm Invite anyone aged 18-30 who might benefit from community and stimulating spiritual discussion. They don't have to be from NC4, or even sure of what they believe! |
