ACF has a variety of ongoing ministries that aim to implement some aspect of our mission. These include weekly large group meetings for the entire fellowship and community groups for deeper studies and outward ministry. Large GroupEvery Friday from 7-9pm in the Mccormick Brown Living Room (though locations may vary), the entire ACF community meets together for our "Large Group" meeting. These meetings usually include times of worship through contemporary song, times of prayer, learning from Scripture, discussing the struggles and joys of our faith, and just having fun. You can see our full list of Large Group topics (with some MP3 recordings, powerpoints, handouts and references) from the past few years: 2007-08, 2006-07, 2005-06, 2004-05, 2003-04, 2002-03, 2001-02. Community GroupsOur community groups give us the chance to grow deeper in community and study passages and topics in more detail. Here, both the young and the mature in faith can learn spiritual truths and tangible practices which foster greater intimacy with God, in the company of friends. We study scripture together, discuss issues, develop relationships, and interact with the campus together. Community groups can range in size from five to fifteen people meeting once a week for a little under two hours. ACF currently supports a number community groups clustered around geographic regions on campus. If you want to know more about the community group ministry, contact the . Groups Investigating God (GIGs)GIGs are small to mid-sized groups designed for people who are interested in discussing the claims of Jesus and Christianity with other people who are also still investigating. The groups will also contain one to two believers who lead the discussion. The one hour meetings are geared toward studying Biblical passages in an interactive manner. GIGs usually form when Christian and non-Christian friends get together and get excited about the idea. ACF will typically see about half a dozen GIGs form in any given semester. If you are interested in joining one or leading one, talk to someone on the . RetreatsRetreats provide the opportunity to get away from MIT and spend time with God in community for extended periods of time. ACF usually goes on the following retreats: Fall conference (October), Winter retreat (weekend before spring Reg Day), and Chapter Camp (the entire week after finals). There is also an Urban Plunge (a week during IAP) and various summer and winter missions opportunities available. | ||
