Small Groups
Freshman Family Groups (FFG)
What is FFG?
FFG, Freshman Family Groups, are one of the easiest and most common ways freshmen or new students can get involved on campus. FFG will consist of 10 small groups made up of only freshmen or 1st year students. Each group will be lead by an upper class male and female. The group will meet to have Bible studies, provide support & encouragement to one another, eat together, and do other fun activities together.
When & Where?
FFG meets weekly at 9pm on Wednesdays in various locations on campus.
How do I get involved?
You can email Ashley Babladelis and she’ll help you get placed with family.
What if I can’t meet on Wednesday nights?
There is a possibility that a family group will be meeting another time.
Remember, it is never too late to join a family.
Depth Groups (for Upperclassmen)
What are depth groups?
Depth Groups are intentional, high-commitment small groups for Upperclassmen. The groups meet off campus once a week for 11/2 to 2 hours. They are led by a faculty or staff person who will seek to encourage the students to go deeper in their faith.

Group led by Kyle Potter
Topic: Early Christian Spirituality–
“Why are modern Christians so indistinguishable from everyone else? How come Christians who lived in times of bloody persecution were so heroic, while we who live in safety are not? How could the first Christians fast valiantly, but we feel deprived without dessert? How did New Testament believers pray without ceasing? How could the early Christian martyrs actually forgive their torturers? What did the Christians of the first centuries know that we don’t?”
Join me this semester in looking to ancient Christians as guides to following Jesus more closely. We’ll learn to pray and to meditate upon Scripture in some of the ways that they have done, and explore how our older brothers and sisters in the Faith have understood their discipleship to the Master. Through the semester we’ll focus on getting to know these friends and engaging Christian practices that can shape our real lives – not the lives we wish we had, or the lives people tell us we should have – rather, the lives of real challenge and hope that need the transforming power of God. In the first half of the semester, we’ll read and discuss Frederica Mathewes-Green’s The Illumined Heart: Capturing the Vibrant Faith of Ancient Christians, letting it guide our ongoing engagement with Scripture. At the second half, we’ll consider whether to do a Scripture study or another book discussion.
Tuesday afternoons 3:30-5pm
It will be held at the Lock and Key Coffeehouse on Main Street
