Experience the Presence of God: A 5-Week Study with Leslie Chaverin
Wednesdays, June 18-July 23 • 9:30-11:30a

You’ll learn how to:
Reignite your sense of awe and connection with Jesus
Practice daily rhythms that invite the Holy Spirit into your life
Break free from surface-level spirituality and encounter God personally
Strengthen your soul in a world that often feels overwhelming
Whether you're new to faith or longing for a deeper connection with God, this study offers a powerful opportunity to reconnect with the One who truly restores.
👉 Video access included. Materials | “Experience Jesus. Really.” by John Eldredge
