Weekly Gathering Kickoff: “Guy + Gal” – Dating Basics
📅 Date: Wednesday, January 21, 2026
We’re kicking off the semester with our first weekly meeting and the start of a brand-new teaching series called “Guy + Gal,” focused on God’s design for love, relationships, marriage, and sexuality. This first night will center on the basics of dating. Dating is one of the most important areas of life—but it’s rarely taught in school, and many people never receive clear guidance from family or church. As a result, a lot of people feel lost, turn to peers for direction, and often end up hurt or full of regret.That’s why we want to look to God’s Word for wisdom and clarity. Join us for a relevant, biblical game plan for navigating dating and relationships with purpose and integrity.
📅 Date: Wednesday, January 21, 2026
⏰ Time: 7:30 PM
📍 Location: SDSU Student Union, 3rd Floor — The Legacy Suite
What to expect: A welcoming community, a fun game, a message from the Bible, and small group discussion.

Guy + Gal” Series: “The Talk” — God’s Design for Sex
📅 Date: Wednesday, February 4, 2026
Our third weekly meeting in the “Guy + Gal” series addresses one of the most important—and often misunderstood—topics in relationships: sex and sexuality. For many people, conversations about sex were either avoided altogether or limited to a single awkward talk. Others may have had the benefit of a trusted Christian voice investing in them—but that experience is rare. As a result, many people are left piecing together their understanding of sex from culture, peers, or personal experience.The Bible actually speaks clearly and often about sex and sexuality. This night is dedicated to exploring God’s good design, His purpose for sex, and how His Word brings clarity, freedom, and hope in an area that deeply affects our lives and relationships.

⏰ Time: 7:30 PM
📍 Location: SDSU Student Union, 3rd Floor — The Legacy Suite
