The Search
Sometimes we get so caught up in the depth of our faith that we forget what it was like to first wrestle with the big questions – Who am I? What am I searching for? What’s our shared story? Who is Jesus? Why do we need a Church? Is there a God? We all need to get back to the basics to make sure the foundation is strong.
We are excited to introduce The Search, a new 7 part Augustine Institute Original Series with the goal of lighting that first fire in those who don’t yet know the faith or reigniting the fire in those who need a primer on the foundational questions. This program will be for 18-25 year olds -including college students- which will begin on Monday, February 1st, at 7 p.m.
Prayer List
Please continue to pray for the spiritual and physical health of these brothers and sisters in Christ.
