Anticipated Openings: Open to all high school students
Time/Date: Monday evenings, 7:00 - 8:30 pm
Description: How does anyone know God exists? What difference does Jesus make? Do science and the Bible conflict? Why become a Christian? Are you tired of asking questions and not getting them answered? This core group is for you. Tough questions are things that we all need to have answered in order for us to make our own decision on whether we accept or believe that God is important in our lives. This study will be a safe place to ask those questions and get answers with no strings attached.
