WHAT IS A TRIBE?
Tribes are our missional communities on campus. They meet once a week all over campus, normally in someone’s apartment or a common living area. They read the Bible together, normally one passage at a time until they’ve read most of a book of the Bible in a semester. Questions are asked and truth is applied to every day life so it makes sense in people’s real life circumstances. In Tribe, relationships develop through food, life stories, deep questions, and spiritual conversations. A group of people in relationship with each other, honestly processing life, leads to community where genuine care and sacrificial love can be experienced. People were created for relationship and so we strive to point people to it through Tribe.
