The Main Event
We encourage students to fully commit to a rhythm of life that means that they are walking closely alongside other believers, who know them deeply, are for them and challenge them to step out in faith. Alongside the seasonal opportunities that arise throughout the year, these regular opportunities can be deeply formative in a person’s life if they go all in.
Please scroll down to find out what weekly things are available, some for our residents and some for all students.
