Welcome to the 2024-2025 academic year!
We are honored and excited to be on this journey with you and we know that God will meet us in our study, worship, and fellowship together. We recognize that our community is the Body of Christ, leaning on one another and challenging each other to grow in faithfulness and holiness and be more like Jesus every day. As the Student Assembly, we see ourselves as the Body of Christ serving the Body of Christ: we are one with you on the journey and we look forward to serving alongside you and encouraging you, just as we know you will encourage us.
Our theme scripture is Hebrews 10:23-25, “Serving all with all to create the bonds of fellowship.” Our desire is to help to facilitate a culture that will propel each of us toward love and good deeds, while also creating a desire within our community to come together in fellowship. By not forsaking the fellowship of the Saints it will help to develop the habit of being an encouragement to one another, as we continue to serve all with all. May we together, as the Body of Christ, honor the Lord in such a way that we do not forsake the fellowship of the Saints, which will give us the opportunity to support and encourage one another as we continue to grow together in Christ. With open hearts and open minds, we seek to follow Jesus into the places where there is conflict, division, pain, and suffering, and work diligently to serve all God’s people, that all people may experience wholeness. It is in our community where we begin to see the reflection of this Kingdom work that is before us.
