'Not a Fan' in 30 Seconds.

What is 'Not a Fan'?  

'Not a Fan' is a seven week journey using a book or a follower's journal, correlated sermons, audio-visual support, and authentic small groups facilitated by trained table-leaders, all to seek an honest answer to a single critical question.



"Small groups" you say?

Yes, small groups will be meeting throughout the week. We are mindful of differing needs and are planning a diverse schedule of small groups.  You may try out multiple groups or stick with the first one you choose -- whichever works best for you.  Details on days and times will be announced this Sunday!
