Upcoming Events

  • Freedom from the Approval of Others (Philadelphia)

    FRIDAY, SEPT 5 at 7PM
    SEVEN MILE ROAD CHURCH
    PHILADELPHIA

    For many of us—especially in South Asian communities—life can feel like a constant performance. Whether it’s meeting the expectations of parents, culture, peers, or even social media, the pressure to measure up is real. The desire for approval can shape our decisions, steal our peace, and keep us from living freely and faithfully.

    But what if there’s another way?

    Join Advance x SAIV x Design Movement for an evening designed for college students and young adults to explore Freedom from the Approval of Others.

    Held at East London Tabernacle Baptist
    Friday, October 18 11:00pm - 7:00pm
    Saturday, October 19 8:00am - 3:00pm

    The Christian life begins and continues with a call. At this year’s Advance Conference in London, we’ll explore the Christian call to follow, belong, risk, and endure through four biblical narratives. Join us as we gather to worship, learn, and be challenged afresh to live out the callings God has placed on each of our lives.
