What Rachel has to say about Join The Grind

What is The Grind?

Not a church service. Not a lecture. A hangout with purpose.

Coffee & Food

Real food — pizza, tacos, wings. Coffee, smoothies, snacks. Come hungry.

Live Music

Acoustic sets, open mic, worship. If you play — bring your instrument.

Real Talk

5-minute message. One point. One story. One challenge. Then table discussion — your voice matters.

Your Crew

A safe space. No judgment. No parents hovering. Just people your age figuring life out together.

Games & Vibes

Board games, card games, freestyle sessions. The second half is just hanging out.

You Lead

Youth-run, adult-supported. MC, setup, music, hospitality — this is YOUR space.
