Come be encouraged with dinner and a movie! The perfect way to spend a Saturday night! Movies with a Message: The movies we show will be intentional to express either a Biblical principle, story or message, that may help to build our faith or challenge us in our walk as believers. OPEN EVENT: WELL BEHAVED TEENAGERS AND MARRIED FRIENDS ARE WELCOME. DESCRIPTION: When governments use Covid emergency act edicts to restrict the gathering and worship of the Church, three pastors facing the risk of imprisonment, unlimited fines, and their own Churches splitting apart take a courageous stand and re-open in the face of a world that has chosen to comply. The Essential Church is a feature-length documentary that explores the struggle between Church and government throughout history. This story takes us to multiple countries and uncovers those who have sacrificed their lives for what they believe in. Journey with us as we rediscover why the Church is essential and how we prove that our stand remains true from a scientific, legal, and most importantly Biblical perspective.
