Large Group

What's a large group meeting?

Well, just what it sounds like: a meeting of our chapter as a large group.  These meetings are possibly the part of our ministry most visible to the rest of our campus.  It is at these meetings that the chapter gathers for community worship, prayer, teaching, witness, and fellowship.

Worship in song is an integral part of almost every meeting, and we also take time to pray together.  Teaching is often done by a guest speaker, through exposition of a Bible passage or through a topical study of an issue relevant to Christians in graduate school.  Sharing from group members during the meeting allows us to witness to one another how God is working in our lives.  Finally, no meeting is complete without the time spent both before and after in fellowship:  talking, laughing, sharing concerns, and building relationships one-on-one.

We have Large Group meetings most Fridays during the semester at 7:30pm, usually in the Illini Union.  Large Groups are sometimes followed by a social, After Large Group Events (a.k.a. ALGE).

The current semester's large groups are listed below.  They are also listed in our Google Calendar, which is available online, or may be subscribed/linked to in your preferred format using the links below.
