Restart
What if you could start over? If you were rebuilding your faith from scratch, where would you begin? If you grew up learning about Christianity, how do you reconcile the real adult world with the faith you found as a child? If you've never believed, how do you build something on your own?
Whether you're investigating Christianity, returning after a season away, carrying questions you've never asked, or you've followed Jesus for years and want to deepen your understanding to help others, Restart is designed to create space for honest questions and meaningful conversations about what it means to follow Christ.
No matter where you are in your faith, Restart will help you establish a lasting faith built on a firm foundation. It’s happening each Sunday from August 9-30 at 9am. Let us know you’re coming with the link below!
