Join us on the docks and campus of Mid-Atlantic Christian University
A gaggle* is a group of Geese. When a bunch of geese waddle around on the ground, that’s a gaggle of geese.
Come Waddle with Us!
Loopers, like our winged friends, are “snowbirds.” What we have in common with each other is our love for Jesus and the blessings of our lifestyle on the water. Like geese, we migrate to avoid the “winter wonderland.”
Being a Christian and a Looper are lifestyles that, at times, can be in opposition to one another. We want to encourage you to take a weekend and be spiritually and physically fed. Make or deepen friendships with quality time with other Looper Christians. Together, we will reflect on the lives of Abraham and Jesus as we consider our purpose and mission out on the waterways.
The AGLCA 2025 Spring Rendezvous is in Norfolk, May 2-5 the MACU docks are normally a one-day transit north via the Dismal Swamp Canal. Sadly, with the Deep Creek bridge construction delay, our guests will need to return to the ICW route one via Coinjock and arrive in Norfolk the following day.
