About “Secret Church?” Years ago, David Platt taught and ministered to believers in underground house churches in Asia—brothers and sisters who gathered in secret, fully aware that discovery could cost them their freedom, their families, or their lives. Their faith was not shaped by comfort or convenience, but by a deep devotion to God and His Word. Secret Church was born from these encounters. Each spring, believers around the world set aside one evening to open the Scriptures, pray for the persecuted church, and give sacrificially, longing to see Jesus made known in the places where is he is least known. EVENT COST: $25 includes the simulcast and light snacks throughout the evening. What to Expect Secret Church is back with a dramatic and immersive dive into the life of Elijah—the prophet who stood alone before kings, called down fire from heaven, battled despair in silence, and was taken up in chariots of flame. Told in four cinematic chapters, this narrative-driven teaching will carry viewers through the highs and lows of Elijah’s life, calling today’s church to courageous, resilient faith in hard places. As with past Secret Church events, this experience is not just about studying Scripture—it’s about equipping and mobilizing the global church to live boldly for Christ in the hardest-to-reach places. This year, the story of Elijah will be woven together with real stories of gospel advance in Nepal, bringing ancient Scripture and modern mission into powerful alignment.
