Have you ever wondered what a fresh expression in a cafe, restaurant, or pub might look like? Join Luke Edwards as he leads a conversation on life and faith in the same way he led his fresh expressions at King Street Church in Boone, NC. (As we're not paying the restaurant for space it's expected that participants will purchase dinner or dessert).
Exclusive to 15 people only.
