SECRET CHURCH
Secret
Church is an international simulcast done every year by David Platt and his
organization, Radical. Navigate and New Life students have been invited out in
past years, but this time we are opening it up to the entire church! Come out TONIGHT
from approximately 7:00 p.m. until midnight. This year’s series is going to be
incredible, as we are tackling the subject of “Who Am I? What does the Bible
say about… Sexuality and Gender, Race, Genomics, Abortion, Infertility,
Artificial Intelligence, Justice, and the Metaverse”? There is no cost.
PRAYER GATHERING
Join us on
Wednesday, May 4 at 6:30 p.m. for our next Prayer Gathering. This prayer gathering will be every

prior to the Prayer Gathering starting at 5:30 p.m.
