Our world offers you countless perspectives on your purpose and design. But these answers often leave us with further confusion because they’re not connected to the One who made us.
Join us as we spend time in the first pages of scripture, discovering the beginning and purpose of all things. Clarity only comes if you encounter your Creator.
Registration is sold out, but you can sign up using the link above to put your name on the waitlist. If space becomes available, someone from DiscipleMakers will contact you to finalize your registration.
