TheALEogy
Topic: What it means to be human in the age of artificial intelligence.
TheALEogy provides an opportunity for church members and friends to gather weekly openly and safely discuss how faith intersects with current world topics and personal interest areas. We gather every Monday at 6:30 p.m. at our new location, LaFamiglia Pizza and Pasta at 1859 W. Guadalupe Road in Mesa. Topics are thoughtfully suggested by attendees and discussed in the spirit of fellowship and respect.
If there's a certain topic you'd like the Pastor's perspective on, email us for future consideration.
