The Living Room: Pressed, Not Crushed

Event Description:

The Living Room: Pressed Not Crushed 

“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed…” — 2 Corinthians 4:8

Join us for the second gathering in The Living Room series—an intimate worship night for those navigating life’s weight and weariness.

The Living Room: Pressed, Not Crushed is a space for real people with real pain to come and rest in the presence of a real God. Through worship, honest poetry, and intentional prayer, we are creating room for collective lament, deep connection, and authentic encounter.

This night is for the ones barely holding it together. For those asking “Where is God in this?” and still showing up.

We believe:
Lament is holy.
God hears and sees you.
You are not crushed.

Come as you are. Come with your questions, your tiredness, your praise, your pain. There’s space for it here.
