Logos
Logos is for our community of students and young adults, committed to studying the Bible and living for Jesus. They meet each week to share a meal, to worship and pray and to dig deep into the Scriptures to discover its treasures. They meet at Carrubbers after the morning service and have some lunch together. Life with God at university and work is the ultimate adventure. At Logos, they want to invest in training for the adventure that lies ahead as they live and speak for Jesus.
