Profile-Seekers

The Seekers are a diverse group of people, each on their own faith journey. It is a consensus-driven group that openly discusses and determines the study topics and direction. No previous Biblical knowledge is necessary. Pizza and salad are celebratory meals shared after reaching study milestones.
