Church Home: A Different Expression

Church Home: A Different Expression

“On September 17, we are offering another expression of what it means to be the church in community.

Instead of gathering in a church building where we sit in half circles, we will be scattering into specific living rooms, where we will not only talk about Jesus, but where we will share a table with food, and slow down for meaningful relationships.”

Two Locations available: Where can I get the address?

As we will be meeting in team member’s homes, please message us at info@168cc.org. You will receive the address within the day.
