The Lab
The Lab is a new Sunday morning space at Living Hope built around four things: relationships, teaching, training, and real life. Here is how an hour looks. We open with a short live teaching, about 10 to 15 minutes, keyed to a specific passage. Then the room goes to work at tables: what God is doing, what the text says, honest questions, a skill to practice, something to actually take home. Not a lecture. Not a talking head. A lab.
