Faith. Family. Friends.
Wednesday Nights Are Back!
Dine with your Asbury family from 5-6:15 p.m.* Then, adults have Midweek Sabbath with come-and-go opportunities to rest, grow, and focus on wellness. Or there’s choir if you feel closer to God through music. Students have RESET Life Groups to help them navigate everyday middle and high school life. And children have music, worship, and fun through Asbury Kids.
*You must make reservations in advance for dinner each week. Details on how to do that are below!

(Kids can choose the Adult Meal or Kids Meal.) You must RSVP and pre-pay each week by Monday at noon. Registration for each meal opens Thursday mornings.
