Come join us for an evening of beauty and connection! Joining us will be special guest Emilie McCormack. Emilie and Brian were one of the founding couples of Reach, leading our church for 10 years before moving to Texas in 2023. They are currently serving at Breakaway Ministries, a weekly Bible Study for thousands of Texas A&M students. Emilie is an incredible speaker, teacher, and leader. She’s full of wisdom and joy--and Reach will always be near and dear to their family. We can’t wait to hear what God has put on her heart!
