Fall 2024 Community Groups
RUF COMMUNITY GROUPS: In RUF, the core of our approach to ministry is the cultivation of Gospel-rooted relationships. It’s not enough to simply know things about God; these realities need to be experienced and lived out in relationships to gain traction and generate change. Our community groups are designed to be places where both believers and skeptics can feel at home and grow. Groups consist of anywhere from 10-20 students who gather together weekly in a leader’s house.
RUF “SPRINT SERIES”: Looking for something shorter term and on-campus? Check out our “Sprint Series”. Sprints are staff-led, on-campus, 5-week long groups that meet to focus on a particular topic. The first 5-week session of Fall Semester begins the week of August 26th and the second series of groups begins in mid-October. Sprint topics will be announced and signups will open the second Large Group of Fall Semester (i.e., 8/21/24).
LOCAL CHURCH COMMUNITY GROUPS: If you’ve already plugged into a local church here in Athens, we’d strongly encourage you to consider the value of joining a community group at your church so you can be building relationships with the fullness of the generational spectrum in Christ’s church. Let us know if you need some help connecting to your church’s community groups and we’ll gladly help! Otherwise, here are some links to some of our partner churches’ community groups pages: Faith Pres; Good Shepherd; and Redeemer Pres.
