New York City
✦ August 2026 ✦
A big month for showing up.
August is shaping up to be a meaningful month. We're crossing the river for our first singles gathering outside NYC, and one week later we're helping a new generation of students build faith-centered communities of their own.
Below are our two featured gatherings, plus more events worth showing up for across the faith community this month. Go make it a good one.

RADIANCE

An intentional evening for Christian singles across NJ

Not speed dating. Not another awkward mixer. Just a warm, welcoming evening and several real conversations. We've thoughtfully designed the night so you never have to wonder who to talk to or how to start.
Created by the team behind Uncuffed and Rooted NYC, RADIANCE is our first gathering in New Jersey—part of a growing series of faith-centered events built to help people meet and build meaningful relationships. Show up, be yourself, and enjoy the conversations.
