about us
We are a group of graduate students, postdocs, and other people
loosely related to the academic world, who spend time together to
share our faith in Jesus. We hold Bible studies each week, studying
either a book of the Bible or a topic that spans different parts of
the Bible. We also have worship in singing, prayer, food, and a lot
of fun. We come from different backgrounds, but share a love for
Jesus.
Here is our group's vision statement:
|
"Unified through Christ and compelled by His love, we as Christian
graduate students and post-docs of the Corvallis/Oregon academic community,
seek to live out our callings by loving the Lord our God with all of our
heart, with all of our mind, with all of our soul, and with all of our
strength and by loving our neighbors as ourselves (Matthew 22:37-38).
We come together as individuals to pursue an intimate, ever-deepening
relationship with God that extends to all aspects of our lives. As we
are transformed into His likeness, we are motivated by a growing passion
for His kingdom, a desire to surrender our lives in uncompromising
obedience to His will, and a yearning to experience and worship God with
our whole beings.
We come together as a body to share our lives, strengthen our faith, and
affirm our callings, so that we may be encouraged and built up in the
image of Christ, enabling us to step into our intended place as members
of the one body under the lordship of Christ.
We come together as a witnessing community to declare the grace and
reflect the glory of God among the campus community and to serve the
world around us with an attitude of sacrificial (agape) love."

As academics, we find that we are in an interesting place for
Christianity. It's good to have people to talk to about our faith,
and who share in similar challenges and joys that we do in
academia. We welcome newcomers; we'd love to have you join us. Please
drop us a line.
