Navigating university life can prove difficult, especially when you want to continue growing in your faith. Our Discipleship Ministries consist of peer-to-peer small groups centered on meaningful interpersonal sharing, transformational Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. In these spaces, we hope the Holy Spirit forms lasting bonds of faith and friendship that help each participant, each leader, and our community as a whole to fully embrace God's calling for their life and continue growing as a disciple and follower of Jesus.
We have five different ministries, including Men's and Women's Ministries, Logos and Roots Bible Studies, and Sanctuary.
