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! The 18/30 group is for 18 to 30-year-olds and they meet Tuesdays at 18:30! They meet at Ian & Celina's house weekly and start on Sept 3. This home is not handicap accessible, is smoke-free, and has a dog. Tuesdays at 6:30p |
