Firestarter

Firestarter is a two-night gathering of spontaneous prayer and worship—for all of us to grow in tangibly seeking and pursuing God’s presence ON OUR OWN. It is a facilitated time that is NOT restrictive to any denomination or spiritual gift. So, there's no sermon. No full set list of songs planned. No expectations. It is for those who are hungry for more of Him. Come to be fed!
