Theology on Tap

Theology on Tap is a speaker series for those in their 20’s and 30’s, married or single, to meet together in the relaxed setting of a local pub. Through lively conversations and interesting speakers, young adults have an opportunity to reflect on their faith and connect with other young adults. Topics focus on faith and contemporary issues that directly affect the lives of today’s young adults. Theology on Tap meets on the Second Thursday of every month from 6-8 p.m. at the Red Pig Inn in Ottawa, Ohio.

We travel as a group, carpooling over to Ottawa for Theology on Tap. We meet in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart on West 224 by the highway at 5:30p.m. and depart from there at 5:45p.m.
