Every week, Christian students meet on campus to build each other up and reach out to non-Christians with the good news of who Jesus is & what he has done!
Small Groups
Small groups (~8 people) meet weekly to pray, study God’s word and be equipped to tell others about Jesus! Each meeting covers a topic from the Bible and discusses how that shapes the way we talk about Jesus with others.
Monday Nights
