We believe that part of being a faithful follower of Jesus means we are called to pray for our community, nation, and world. We gather each week to pray in three ways in 10-minute segments: 1) becoming aware of what is going on in our world, 2) reflecting on scripture and asking God to guide us, 3) responding through various actions (i.e., calling legislators, writing letters to our neighbors).

Connect with other freshmen to navigate your first year at UW-Madison. This group is where people often make lifelong friendships and find their family away from home.

Reading the Bible is an important part of our faith journeys–but it can be confusing and daunting! In this weekly gathering co-led by Pres House Council members and Nii Abrahams, our Associate Director of Campus Ministry, we’ll learn how to study the Bible in a thoughtful and faithful way as we work our way through the book of 1 Corinthians together. As we read, we’ll explore questions like:

What is the Bible? Where did it come from?
What does it mean to say that the Bible is “inspired”?
What does Christian leadership look like?
How do we make sense of what the Bible says about sex, gender, sexual orientation, and relationships?
What do we do when something in the Bible is just plain weird?
How does the Bible help us think about life and death?
