Our Mid-Week Meeting gets a G.R.A.S.P. on GRIP!

We believe that there are 5 important elements of the Christian faith in which God is calling us to continually engage. These include:

Growing—It is vital that we study and reflect on God’s Word in order to gain a better understanding of God’s character and will for our lives. This is accomplished through student-led discussion of Scripture.
Reaching—We are called to reach out to others, sharing God’s promises and unconditional love. Opportunities are provided through small and large group activities to initiate relationships with those who do not yet know Christ. These have included:
  • passing out drinks in the Oak Grove during finals week
  • hosting an occasional coffeehouse
  • playing broomball
  • going swing dancing
  • hosting a boating/jet skiing evening

Accepting—None of us are free from sin. We accept people where they’re at, but offer support in the journey to become more like Christ. Students build friendships through activities such as:

  • playing football
  • going ice skating
  • enjoying cookouts
  • going shopping

Serving—In response to God’s generosity to us, we in turn want to help others through service projects, both on a small and large scale. Groups have helped out in the community in a variety of ways, including:

  • sponsoring a ‘Big-for-a-Day’ luncheon
  • raking leaves
  • remodeling a building

Praising—There is nothing God desires more than our love and one of the best ways to express it is through worship. Students are encouraged to explore new and creative ways to worship God in their meetings.
