This year at Focus, we’re turning to the book of Revelation—a book that fuels our perseverance in proclaiming Jesus. In a world that can feel uncertain and overwhelming, Revelation lifts our eyes to Jesus, the victorious King, reminding us that He reigns now and will reign forever. Through its vivid imagery and powerful truths, we’ll see how God equips His people to stand firm and boldly proclaim the Gospel until He takes us home!

Bible Study 101 Track: (Freshmen)

We want to teach you not just how to study the Bible but how to study it with others! Join us as we both review the basics of leading Bible study, while learning the ropes of leading a group through a passage of scripture. It's our hope that you walk away from this track ready to take a crack at leading your first Bible study.

Discipleship Track: (Sophomores & Juniors)

Discipleship, why do we do it and how do we do it? We want to answer these questions for you through this track. We'll spend time exploring the vision, art, and science behind helping people around us love, know, and obey Jesus.

Wisdom Track: (Sophomores & Juniors)

What does it mean to be "wise" and where do you start? Solomon would say the beginning of wisdom is this: "get wisdom." Join us as we explore and unpack the Proverbs and "get wisdom" together.

Senior Track: (Seniors)

College is coming to an end. You've learned what it looks like to be a part of a fellowship on campus that is on mission for Jesus. But now what? How do you apply the skills you've learned out in the world, and what should you expect as you enter this next season? Join us to find out.

Focus+

How can we engage with the world, if we can’t even engage with other Christians? We want to teach you how to approach hot-button and grey-area issues with truth and grace and how to thoughtfully and confidently engage or even disagree with other Christians. Join us for Focus+!
