Fall Bible Studies
Bible Studies are one of the best ways to get plugged into our ministry and meet new people. The smaller group setting allows for people to share their lives with people who are going through similar situations. Below are the times and locations for our Bible studies this semester as well as the number of the study leader. We would love to have you come and join us as we grow to know God more deeply through studying His Word together.

"You are either in the Word and the Word is conforming you to the image of Jesus Christ, or you are in the world and the world is squeezing you into its mold." -Howard Hendricks
Freshman Connection
Freshman Connection will begin again in the Fall. If you are a Freshman go to the Bible Study tab to the left and choose the Freshmen study that best works for you!
Freshman Connection is an awesome place to meet and develop friendships with other freshmen. Freshman Connection is our freshmen Bible study that meets weekly in the Marshall Center. We spend time together in Bible study discussion that is challenging and relevant to our lives. We also play some games, hang out, eat, and have fun together (we also have some sweet Freshman socials). It's a great time to meet other like-minded freshmen who want to make a difference at USF and grow in their relationships with God.
Make the most of your time at USF by joining Freshman Connection!
Nav Night
Nav Night is our large group meeting every Wednesday _ 9pm in room 2709 of the Marshall Center. You'll love our worship band, guest speakers, and the cool people you'll meet as you come and pursue Christ with us. You can always expect to hear a relevant message from God's Word that will challenge and encourage you.
We were designed by God for relationships with others...this life of following Christ was never intended to be lived alone. We need one another and Nav Nights are a great way to connect with and meet friends. Through thought-provoking messages centered around God's Word and connecting with one another we learn more of what it means to know God and experience Him.
Many students have shared that Nav Nights are the highlight of their week because of the encouragement they receive from the Word and from others. We pray these weekly gatherings will be something that challenges you, encourages you, and draws you closer to God.
Socials
Having fun is one of the things that the things we love to do. We are usually doing something weekly and each semester we have some cool road trips, overnighters, and retreats that we do. We also have a variety of socials and other group events where you can hang out and get to know others in our community. We do everything from barn dances, to sports, to dinners, to scavenger hunts and much more
Following Christ was not meant to be done alone...and we think when it's done together it's just...simply...more FUN! Be sure to check out our Calendar, which has all the latest details on whats going on.
Service Projects
The Bible talks a lot about loving and serving people. One of the best ways to show people you care about them is to serve them. Throughout each school year we do several service projects to bless others who are less fortunate than we are. In the past, we have done a variety of projects including: serving food to the poor and homeless, working with handicapped children, Habitat for Humanity, Operation Christmas Child, and serving at a children's home for abandoned kids, among other things.
Every year we usually find a really meaningful and fun service project to do as a group for Spring Break. Then we take a road trip to our location to serve people, show them the love of Christ, have fun, and build memories together. We would love for you to join us as we serve others.
Summer Training Programs
A Summer Training Program (STP) is an 8 week intensive Bible study and discipleship program that we offer to students. At an STP, you will grow in intimacy with Christ through prayer, Bible study, discipleship, workshops, messages, and extended times with God. You will learn to share your faith, live in a team, work together, and model Christ to all around us. You will also work at a theme park and have lots of fun at various events and socials. Our program is located in the Smoky Mountains of Pigeon Forge, TN. Students often tell us that their STP summer was the best summer of their life. Click below to learn more!
