Make your faith your own...and change!

College is the best time of your life… everyone says so. It's a place to make lifelong friends,
acquire scholarly knowledge and common sense, and to find out who you truly are.

You also have the chance to make your faith your own...not your
parents' or your youth pastor's.

We want to provide you the opportunity to grow in your faith and to get to know Jesus Christ more deeply. And through that, make an impact on the world.

If your interested in growing as a follower of Christ, if you would like to have encouraging relationships with other believers, if you want to graduate college with a stronger faith than you have right now, if you want to lead your friends, family, and classmates to Christ, then come join us on this faith adventure

Here's how we work:

Come join a small covenant group where you will live out discipleship with one or two other friends. The groups are same gender and compromised of people who know each other. There are 3 main purposes of the covenant group:

• Reading and studying Scripture
  
• Holding each other accountable to the life that Jesus has called you
  
• Praying earnestly and intently for not-yet-believers that you know and opportunities to share Jesus' love and truth with them
  

By committing to your group and embracing the life you've been called to, your relationship with Jesus Christ will grow immensely and God will work through you to reach your friends and the world around you.

As more people join, the groups begin to split, maintaining only 2 or 3 friends in each. When there are multiple groups, we will begin to meet together in a dorm, coffee shop, library, or wherever in order to worship, hang out, and share life together as a community of faith.

If you are interested, have questions, or just want to grab lunch or coffee, please contact us @ the Root.
