Discipleship Groups

Our men’s ministry encourages men to be intentional about growing in their relationship with God through friendship, prayer, and God’s Word. We offer two opportunities for the men on campus to consider joining: 

 

The MENtor Project pairs an upperclassman with an incoming freshman for a weekly one hour mentoring session. Freshmen are provided support in adjusting to their first year of college while thriving in their relationship with God. 

 

The MAN Movement pairs sophomores, juniors, and seniors for a weekly meeting focused on maturing in their relationship with God through prayer, grace motivating accountability, and digging into God’s Word together. Our desire is for every man on campus to have a meaningful friendship that is intentional about growing in their walk with Jesus. 

 

Both programs are supposted by the MAN TEAM, a small group of male students committed to promoting mentoring on campus. The MAN TEAM recruits mentors and incoming  students, processes applications, pairs up students, and meets regularly to pray for all the men on campus. They also plan men's events that focus on specific issues and struggles that men face. For more information on our men’s ministry programs, please contact Ben Makin, Men’s Ministry coordinator. 

 

The women’s ministries team offers each incoming freshman woman the opportunity to be paired with an upperclassman student mentor. These pairs meet frequently to help the incoming student adjust to our college community and to grow in their relationship with Christ while on campus. 

 

At the beginning of their sophomore and junior years, women have the opportunity to become a part of a discipleship group led by a mentor, who are each a member of a local church congregation. These mentors disciple and equip students to grow in their relationship with Christ and cultivate a small group community of support.

 

During the spring semester of senior year, all women in the graduating class are invited to participate in a Bible study that meets on Wednesday evenings in the president’s home. This study is hosted by Brenda McNulty and taught by Elizabeth Messer, the Women’s Ministries Coordinator. The Senior Study provides an opportunity to gather as a community, go deeper into God’s Word, and pray together before embarking on life beyond college.

During freshmen year, the chapel ministries staff organizes, trains, and equips leaders for freshmen hall Bible studies that take place in the residence halls with the men or women living on the floor. These Bible studies are led by a resident assistant or other upper-classmen.
