Join us at Cathedral Ridge for Quest, October 24-26, as we discover what it means to be intentionally shaped by Jesus' love and how that love has the power to help us be Self-aware, Honest, Authentic, Present, Empowered Disciples. Living as your authentic, true self in a world that makes authenticity difficult is a valuable and vital skill. Through moving speeches from youth on the Youth Council, to dancing to worship music with our band, and building genuine community, we will discover our original designs and see what it means to be intentionally shaped from the inside out by the love of Jesus. Please consider going! (Anna will also be attending this.) QUEST registration is now open here
