Q Place, as an idea, is not new. It's over 2000 years old. The founder's name is Jesus. He invited twelve ordinary people to spend focused time with Him. Jesus asked relevant questions about God and the Scriptures. He listened. He lived with his followers. He loved them. He told them stories to help them seek truth.

Jesus enabled them to discover answers at their own pace and in their own way. He was patient with the process because he knew it couldn't be rushed. In that ongoing interaction, they came to know more than they ever expected. And it changed their lives.
