- COMING SOON!
Whether you're a committed Christian, spiritually curious, or somewhere in between — you belong here. Framing Your View is a cohort-based experience designed to help you think clearly, engage honestly, and explore what you actually believe — and why.
Think Deeply
Engage real questions about faith, meaning, and worldview in a structured, intellectually honest environment
Talk Honestly
Small group cohorts create space for real dialogue — not lectures, not debates, but genuine conversation
Connect Genuinely
Build relationships with students and community members who are wrestling with the same big questions
What Happens in a Framing Your View Cohort?
1
Small Group Setting
Cohorts are intentionally small — typically 8–12 people — so everyone has a voice and no one gets lost in the crowd.
2
Guided Conversations
Each session is built around a central question or theme — from the existence of God to the relationship between science and faith, justice, purpose, and more.
3
No Pressure. No Agenda.
You don't have to have it figured out. You just have to be willing to show up and think.
4
Built for Real Life
Sessions are designed to fit into a student's schedule — evenings, flexible timing, and a welcoming environment near campus.
5
A Community Worth Joining
Many people who've gone through Framing Your View say the relationships they built mattered just as much as the content.
