We will begin the weekend with an elegant evening for adults in the heart of Downtown New York City at the Roxy Hotel as Kelly Kapic introduces us to what it means to be ‘only human’ in God’s design for us. During this time, child care stipends will be provided for families as needed, and youth (6th-12th grade) opportunities will be organized at a nearby venue.

We will return on Saturday for a full day of activities and informative sessions. Kelly Kapic, author of Being Human, will bring refreshing perspectives on living well in today's world. Together, we’ll grow and understand that God didn't create us to do it all but to make meaningful relationships, life-giving contributions, and find joy in rest.
After the Saturday programming, there will be a selection of in-city Local Gatherings to experience with others. We believe the best way to build community is to share the gift of time.

Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what we worship. Our Sunday services are how we come together in community to worship the God who made us—applying the truths and principles of what we've learned through song, prayer, teaching, and fellowship, we seek to become people who live for Jesus in the city.
