A glimpse of the ministry
We gather, we grow, and we go. From Bible study nights to leadership workshops, every moment in Emerging Leaders is an opportunity to be sharpened, spiritually, mentally, and relationally.
This is more than a ministry. It's a movement of young adults who are choosing to say yes to God's calling on their lives, together.
