Nova is the college-aged community at Solana Beach Presbyterian Church. We meet together to serve our community and to discover how God is calling us to be His sent people into the world.
Nova, (noun) is a massive star that undergoes a sudden, extreme increase
in brightness that may outshine an entire galaxy.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send?
And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" - Isaiah 6:8
