Fellowship Groups & Engagement Opportunities

DiscipleMakers Bible Study

We invite all people to come to learn about who Jesus is and what it means to follow him. We do so through a weekly large group Bible study, various small groups for discipleship and mentorship, small group Bible studies, and community-building events. Find links to our online meetings and events at lvc.dm.org or follow us on Instagram @lvcdm.

For more information, contact Sarah at sarah.evans@dm.org.

Fellowship of Christian Athletes

FCA is a weekly Bible study where we dive into the Word and discuss the different aspects, struggles, and successes of being a Christian athlete and student. As a group, we strive to grow in our faith, to do our best both on and off the field/court, to encourage one another, and to be God’s light to our teammates and friends. We also have fun activities like sport or movie nights and hang outs throughout the year to help us get to know one another and take a break from the stress of being a busy college student.

Whether you are a returning student or a first-year student, are on a sports team, play intramural or just like sports, if you know Jesus Christ, are seeking Him, or are just want to know more, I would encourage you to join us! Meetings are on Mondays at 6 p.m. in the Fellowship Lounge in the Chapel basement.

If you are interested, please email Ben at bvf001@lvc.edu or join the FCA GroupMe.

Spiritual Counseling

College is a time to struggle with new ideas. In the course of your work at LVC, you may find that your religious traditions and beliefs are challenged or questioned. People of all religious backgrounds and faiths struggling with spiritual doubts or despair are welcomed and encouraged to make an appointment with the College Chaplain.

Or, your appointment may center upon ideas and resources for developing an active and growing spiritual life.
