The Platform: 7 Minute Theology
I have been pastoring the young adults for the last two years and it has been an absolute privilege. Most of my time has been running the Platform on Thursday nights. The Platform is a space where young adults come and have quality dialogue surrounding a wide variety of topics. We have nights dedicated to financial management, hearing the voice of God, church history and much more. Plus you can always count on me giving a quality dad joke.
My favourite nights are what we call 7 Minute Theology where the young adults themselves share on a passage of scripture for 7 minutes. I might be biased but we have an amazing group of young adults with profound insight. I have learned so much from these nights and I am very thankful for the wisdom shared.
Pictured below are some of our speakers plus some of the best quotes we have had this last year.
