What is love? What does it have to do with Christmas? Love can be hard to define, but it is what Christmas is all about! Join us as we explore how we can experience love this Christmas - and it's more than just a feeling. Be sure to watch all four parts of our video series on Christmas as we bring it back to what Christmas is all about. We have special features from our leaders, students, and the Bible Project as we talk about four words that are foundational to the Christmas story and our faith as a whole.

Have you heard of the 24 Day Challenge? Well if you haven't it is a must-have at our Christmas Banquet every year. This year we had to settle for a leaders-only version, but we may have to have Christmas-In-July event just to bring it back!

Our focus for this semester is KNOWN. Your generation is unlike any other. Weve seen your generation champion movements of justice, human rights, and environmental sustainability. Your generation will shape our world. We believe in the youth of today and we want you to be KNOWN in this world and to be recognized. God knew you before you were born, knew the incredible person you would become, and knew the wonderful works you would accomplish in this life. You are known by God... and when we begin to know who He is, we gain access to a relationship that allows us to transform our thoughts, our actions, and ultimately our heart. To be KNOWN is to be secure, to be loved, and to be empowered. Join the journey with us this Fall.
