Friday Night Services
Expression Church Youth and Young Adults meet on Friday evenings, 7:00pm during school terms.
Desire is a place where people encounter God, seeing them set free from addictions, depression, insecurities, anxiety, anger, and self-doubt. Issues that a majority of young people find themselves caught up in.
We are passionate about seeing God’s Plan prevail over people's lives, we desire for Jesus' will to be done over people's lives, being a game changer for his kingdom.
