What is Torch Team?
What is Torch Team?
━━━━━
The Torch Team exists to witness transformation through developing a friendship with Jesus and one another in small group communities. We seek to be personally transformed in Christ by supporting each other as small group leaders, then journeying with students on campus as we encounter the Spirit of Truth in Jesus.
By joining a small group with two of our leaders, you can meet great, like-minded people, read the Bible together as a community, learn about yourself and others, and more!
Join us once a week at one of the times below for faith-based discussions and community! We’d love to have you!

Ryan — Hi, I’m Ryan and I’m a 4th-year studying Graphic Design. I’m from Tucson and I’m in an a cappella group here on campus!
The Lord has given me much joy, and becoming a small group leader allows me to take that joy and share it with others, as well as allows me to deeper my connections with others in our journey to know Christ deeper.

Jaret — I am a native Tucsonan studying computer engineering. As a side project, I built a wearable RGB led light suit that I could dance in.
The reason why I became a small group leader, is because small groups are the first community in the church that many students will find, and it is rewarding to be a part of that work.
