GroupChat!
GroupChat is a text community for students designed to provide encouragement and promote discipleship by reading the Bible each day. Students participating in GroupChat will receive a daily text reminder to read the Bible. Along with those reminders, students will be encouraged to share a sentence or two about something they learned from the passage. GroupChat is a two month commitment. After two months, students can choose to opt out or continue for an additional two months. Students interested in GroupChat should email George.

KNOW - TREASURING GOD'S WORD
"I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word."
We desire for our students to know and love God's Word. We desire for them to treasure it and view it as authoritative for every area of life.
BE - TREASURING GOD'S WORK
"... if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come."
We desire for our students to treasure a relationship with Jesus. This means coming to recognize Jesus, as not only the one who atones for their sins, but also as their deepest identity.
DO - TREASURING GOD'S WILL
"For it is God who is working in you both to will and to work according to His good purpose."
We desire for students to grow in understanding who God has created them to be, as well as who he is restoring them to be, in redemption.
