We’re a community of university-aged adults from campuses and neighborhoods all throughout Chicago. We gather to use the ancient text of the Bible to navigate the present crossroads of university life and young adulthood.
This season of life is often when we start to grapple with big questions: Where do we come from? (Origin) Why are we here? (Purpose) Are good & evil real? (Morality) What happens to us when we die? (Destiny) We’re also making decisions about higher education, work, marriage, family, politics, and religion. Life is a gift—complex, wonderful, and terrifying—and best lived in community. Join us as we journey with God as our guide.
