Events
Elev8 2018 Registration Opens March 1!!
Every year PLNU hosts Elev8 over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Registration opens March 1, so get the word out as spaces are limited!
What does grace really mean? Our culture has a poor concept of grace as a lived reality. In our broken system, all acceptance is conditional, all love is performance based. Identity is given by the sum of what we strive to be, or what we appear to be. Even within the community of the church, we at times participate in this brokenness.
Perhaps it’s time we reclaimed grace.
Stop by www.elev8event.com for more information.
