MAIN SESSIONS.
WorshipEach night, we will create space for you to encounter Jesus through musical worship. Because we come from diverse worship experiences, you may feel uncomfortable in moments as we sing in multiple languages and musical styles. Our hope is that you will enter into this experience, seeking to see the image of God in the worship of all His people. Many would say it is a taste of heaven.
