A desire burns deep inside each one of us, a longing to know God and our place in this world.

Who were we created to be?

What is our purpose in life?

How do we live from our true identity?

It all starts with a central, pivotal event, one that changes us and by which we measure life before and life after. God invites each of us to experience our own, personal central event, where we are immersed in the tangible love of the Father and hear Him proclaim His delight over us. The Central Event opens the doors of our hearts to receive the Father's love, be transformed by it and to give it away.
