Find Your Local Crave Gathering

Crave Curriculum
Set Apart: Living for God’s Greater Purpose
What if holiness wasn’t something we chased for eternity, but something we were invited to live out today?
This year at CRAVE we will journey through Romans 5 and 6, taking a fresh look at holy living—not as a burdensome standard, but as a Spirit-empowered reality for those who belong to Jesus. We’ll explore what it means to be set apart, not just saved for heaven, but transformed for earth—here and now.
Each month builds on the truth that holiness is not only possible, it’s our calling. This study will challenge, refine, and awaken you to the reality that you’ve been set apart—not just for one day, but for this day. Holiness isn’t out of reach. It’s the Spirit-filled rhythm of those who belong to the Kingdom.
Join us, and step into a holy life that reflects heaven, here on earth.
We have designed every gathering at Ignite Life to play a part in equipping, empowering, and mobilizing you in your faith journey with Jesus. The same curriculum will be taught at every gathering, regardless of which location you attend.

In this season, Sara is learning to serve her husband of 20 years, nurture a pair of amazing teenagers, and passionately pursue Jesus into a “faith-rest” life. Her ministry, Experience Faith, allows her to seek and share thin spaces, inviting others to join her in creating space to encounter Jesus in nature, rest and retreats.
