Can you think of a more relaxing place to sit, read, and discuss than at a local coffee shop? We’ve taken that concept and applied it to Ablaze, our Sunday morning discussion group for young adults.

very own coffee shop, Eagle Creek Coffee Company at The Gathering,
then join us for a laid-back time of personal sharing and biblically focused discussion. It’s not only a great way to meet other young
adults, but an excellent opportunity to be challenged in your faith.
