WELCOME TO THE SPOT!

Each week we check-in on the Platform in The Underground (just through the double-doors on ground level of C Building).  Students will have some time to hang out and play in The Underground.  Then we'll move into the Blue Line for group games and connection activities.  We will engage in worship through music and experience growth through God’s Word.
