Spouses/Family/Significant Others
Written by Host on August 12, 2008 – 12:48 am -
Spouses, family, and/or significant others are welcome to join you on your trip! There is a lot to see and do in Charleston!
They are also welcome to come tour the Seacoast Church facilities, attend the offsite dinners/events (Oct. 7th and Oct. 9th), and the onsite dinner/worship experience (Oct. 8th).
We ask that the onsite lunches be only attended by RoundTable participants, since these would be times for fellowship between peers.
