This group is to support, aid, and assist women on the campus of Northwest University to develop restraint, practice self control, and heal, from pornography using accountability, grace and community while holding fast to Jesus Christ.
Women
A place to be known, share life honestly, and walk with others as we see how God is working in and through us. We’re building genuine relationships, encouraging one another, and growing together in faith.
We want to learn what it looks like to pursue excellence as athletes and students while putting God first. In the midst of demanding schedules, practices, competitions, and academics, we’ll challenge one another to make time for God, grow in our faith, and give Him our all. Our goal is to discover how our faith can shape the way we compete, study, lead, handle pressure, and ultimately understand that our identity is found in Christ—not in what we accomplish.

Monday 10:10am & After Practice
Location: Pavillion
After experiencing the challenges of chronic illness and injury firsthand, I saw a need for a community where people could feel understood, supported, and reminded of who they are in Christ. This group is a place for athletes and non-athletes alike to come together, share honestly, and navigate the challenges of illness and injury while learning to trust God, stay encouraged, and hold tightly to our identity in Him.
This group is an opportunity for our volleyball team to grow closer together while growing deeper in our faith. We’ll focus on genuine fellowship and learning how to steward the gifts and opportunities God has given us. As we encourage and challenge one another, my hope is that we can grow together—both as teammates and as followers of Christ.
This life group will be focused primarily on fellowship and the liturgy of exercise. Before every meeting, either my co-lead Jackson or I will prepare a few verses or a short section of the Bible that comments on the importance of either fellowship or of taking care of one’s physical body. Then, after the short discussion and a prayer, the group will exercise for the rest of the time while engaging in fellowship.

Thursdays 7-8pm (Weekly)
Eagle Fitness Center
We are working through a devotion/book calling us to abide in Christ and showing us how to do that in daily life. This group will focus on applying this idea of abiding into our every day lives. We will also focus on community and just working together as women in Christ and teammates to help each other in our faith walk.
We want to focus on creating an environment where difficult, not commonly discussed, books/passages of the Bible can be brought up and discussed in community. We believe that there is a reason these are in the canon and that the whole Bible is God's inspired word and are interested in exploring both the challenging and also the maybe not as commonly engaging sections.

It will be a time to worship together and draw our attention to him while having good conversations about topics specifically of our current walk in our faith.
My group will be a run group Bible study. We would meet and have a ten minute talk about the scripture/topic we’ve been studying, and then will break into pace groups for the run where people will discuss questions and application over the course of the run.
A space where we learn about spiritual practices that bring us closer to God and the community around us. For residents of the Hive.
I want to create a space where women can come together to study Scripture, have honest and meaningful conversations about faith, and encourage one another in our walks with God. Through sharing testimonies and experiences from our lives, I hope to highlight God’s faithfulness, grace, and favor at work. My goal is for us to learn from His Word, share openly with one another, and recognize how God is moving in each of our lives—even through the challenges and uncertainties we face.
A quiet time in community for Bible Reading. A space to put aside distractions and focus on the word with sisters in Christ.
This life group offers the girls on my floor a space to connect with each other, share their hearts, and practice vulnerability while also being encouraged and challenged through the Word of God, prayer, and time for testimonies.
This life group will be reading and talking through the word, doing some video devo/ sermon discussions, and outreach as a way of bringing FOA together.

Thursdays (Weekly)
Location: TBD
Leading a group of students who want to know God on a deeper level. We would be reading through disappointment with God by Philip Yancy. This book is so deep on the why’s of whenever it seems like we can’t talk to God or hear him.
A group for creatives to come and do their specific creative project while talking about life and Jesus.
Leading my floor girls in learning how to love their relationship with the Lord as not just something they do habitually but something they do out of purpose and desire.
A group coming together in the evening to talk about the Lord is doing in our community! I would like to do maybe one week we do worship and then the next week we do more of talking, but what i'm thinking of starting first would just be doing the study but opening up with one or two worship songs.
I am going to be having a new theme every month! So for September, it is 'Fresh Wind' and speaking about new things/change and about the Holy Spirit and how to sense Him.
This life group will discuss the topic of how we hear from God. My co leader has a lot of wisdom in this area and she will be the one to start the life group off.
