The Christian faith boils down to being more devoted to and looking more like Jesus Christ. Although there are numerous ways in which that can and will occur, true transformation will only take place inside of deep, authentic, Christian community. Christ taught that we would change the world to the degree that we “become one”. Our Life Groups, small groups of 5-7 students, are designed to help create and build community where people can experience, share, and embrace life in Christ . It is our hope that these life groups provide the kind of life-giving community that builds and empowers the Body of Christ to truly become more like Christ and to thus change this campus and this world.
