About this event

The After Service
Faith, Life, and the Conversations You Didn’t Know You Needed.

Let’s be real—church shouldn’t end when the service does. The After Service is a daytime experience created for young adult believers who are craving connection, authenticity, and real-life conversations rooted in faith. Whether you’re a long-time member or just finding your place in the community, this is your space to relax, engage, and grow. The environment is intentionally designed to feel warm and welcoming, set in an Airbnb-style lounge with comfortable seating, curated background music, chill vibe, appetizers, Fizz & Flow. We’ll kick things off with a social mixer—light games and open conversation to help break the ice and spark genuine connections.

Then we’ll dive into the heart of the day: Real Talk: Yoked Edition, our signature podcast-style conversation led by relatable moderators and special guests. This live, interactive session invites everyone into a dialogue on topics that matter—like dating and relationships in Christian culture, navigating doubts and challenges in your faith, identity in a social media-driven world, and prioritizing mental and spiritual wellness. You’ll have the chance to ask anonymous questions, participate in live polls, and join in a conversation that’s real, raw, and refreshing.

To wrap it all up, we’ll flow into what we call “The After Glow”—a chill space for deeper discussions, prayer, connection, and laughter. Snap a few pics at our photo spot, grab one more mocktail, and meet people who are walking the same journey you are. The After Service is more than just a gathering—it’s a reminder that faith isn’t confined to Sunday mornings. It’s lived out in community, through real conversations, and in the moments we share together. So come through, bring a friend, and let’s make faith feel like real life.
