Fall 2026 Small Group Focus & Schedule
Join us on Tuesdays or Wednesdays as we take a new look at the Book of Daniel. Here’s an outline of the book of Daniel. All small groups start the week of September 28.
On Mondays (bi-weekly), we host a Big Questions dinner group for anyone looking to tackle challenging questions about faith (RSVP for dinner by emailing mickey.sanchez@intervarsity.org). On Fridays (weekly) over lunch we Explore Christianity more specifically (all questions welcome). (Tentative) Thursdays we have an Arts Ministry small group.
If you’re new to the Bible, or it seems intimidating, or you just want a fun refresher, check out these biblical overview resources from the Bible Project:

2025 Summer Fellowship: Faith & Work Integration
Starting July 2nd, join us on Wednesdays at 6:00 pm to eat dinner together and discuss Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God's Work by InterVarsity alum, Timothy Keller, with former InterVarsity Trustee, Katherine Leary Alsdorf. Every Good Endeavor is a foundational text on integrating our faith with our work and studies. You can read the intro here. Tim’s ministry through Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City had a profound impact not only on the Christian community, but also on the secular and professional spheres of the city — and ultimately, around the world. His passing in 2023 was covered in The New Yorker and The New York Times, among other outlets. Katherine spent 20 years in the high-tech industry and was CEO of two companies before starting Redeemer’s Center for Faith & Work in 2002.
As usual, all of our small groups will combine into one fellowship over the summer. Our sister grad fellowships - Christian Legal Society (CLS), Christian Medical and Dental Association (CMDA), IV Arts, and Kellogg Christian Fellowship (KCF) - are invited to participate as well.
We will meet in person with a hybrid option for those who are traveling or away over the summer.
