A Deep Dive into Artificial Intelligence from a Christian Perspective

What are NET Days?
NET Days are free, quarterly events open to anyone! We come together for a time of equipping, encouragement, and networking with other believers. These gatherings take place on Wednesday mornings at Ephrata Community Church.
Join us for this upcoming NET Day as we hear from Mark Lamontia, discussing A Christian Perspective of Artificial Intelligence and the Human Soul. This will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A on AI's use in both business and ministry.
We hope you can join us!
