Hi, I am 38,
I was a student and am still paying off massive student loans. I noticed the age limit to be under 30, so does that mean I do not qualify to attend. I said maybe on facebook and will not come, unless I get a response. I do not want to break church policies by being over age.
I myself am a Christian, but have found a hard time finding other young people to connect with, I thought this may be a good avenue.
But if I am too old, I understand that it is geared towards younger people.
