ABOUT US
We are a community of students striving to follow the Lord Jesus Christ and spread His glory on the campus of Northwest Missouri State University. We invite you to spend time in fellowship and worship with other students here in Maryville, Missouri.
We meet on Monday nights at 6:15 for a free Monday Dinner and again on Thursday nights at 7:00 for Real Life, our weekly Worship service. We also have weekly bible studies to join and various group hang outs/activities. Our goal is to help connect you with a community of believers and help engage you in a personal walk with Jesus Christ.
