1st Quarter Has Begun

We hope classes are going well and you got some good teachers. Things have started with us and we will have our large group meeting "NavNite" again this Wednesday at 8pm in HUB 379.

This quarter at our NavNites we will be focusing on who God is as He describes Himself. Multiple times He says, "I am....." The Bread of Life, Spring of Living Water, The True Vine, etc. We will take a look at quite a few of these and hope to learn more about who God is.

Come join us, anyone and everyone is welcome.

Welcome to UCR

We are excited that a new year is upon us and we are starting up our weekly meetings as well as Bible studies. Please come join us for our first Navnite this week.

Our first Navnite - WED @ 8PM - HUB 379

We want to help you grow in your faith while in college and would love to see you there. You will get a better picture of who we are and what we value... not to mention fun and meeting new friends.

A Bit About Us

We are a group of people growing in our faith through deep friendships and the Bible.

Growing in our faith - This is foundational to why we are here. We want to grow in our faith and help others to do the same.

Deep friendships - What a year it has been. Friendships have grown deep through dinners together, road trips, conferences, times around a campfire, and awesome hike to a cave, and sharing joys and struggles.

Bible - It is the voice of God and full of life. Years ago I had no idea how to read it, study it, or hear God's voice. A friend took the time to teach me and I love doing the same for others. It is truth and we value teaching how to study the Word well.

Large Group Meetings

This quarter we will be meeting every Wednesday night at 7:30. The building is very near the hub and is called Costo. We will be in Costo "lower" and will have The Navigators sign by the door.

We will also have Bible studies at various times during the week and anyone is welcome. Please email me and I would be glad to give you more information.

Reality

It is hard to believe that quarter number one is drawing to a close. Some of you are happy with where you are emotionally, physically, and spiritually. But, I am guessing that most of us (if we are honest with ourselves) know that we have room for growth. Our grades didn't turn out the way we had hoped. A relationship we were in has been really hard. We partied a little more than we wanted to and didn't pay as much attention to God as we would have liked. We did things that we regret.



The good news is that there is hope and that hope will be satisfied in Christ. Next quarter we will have large group meetings, Bible studies, conferences, fellowship, and discipleship... and the point of it all is to help you draw close to Jesus and experience the spring of living water.



I would like to personally invite you to take some real steps toward growing in your faith during winter quarter. I can also tell you that you will not succeed on your own and we would love to help you. Email me if you are interested in checking us out. You can also check this site later to find out when and where we will meet... but I would suggest the first option. For me it is far to easy to put something off and next thing I know I have forgotten about it or am so busy with other things that I never get around to it. So, if you are interested in growing in your faith please get in contact with us and we would love to help you.

Road Trip

Every year we all pack up and head somewhere with the intention of selflessly loving others. Jesus said that He came to serve and not to be served. So, this year we packed up and drove 7 hours to an underprivleged middle school in Sacramento. We got there sometime after 2am Saturday, slept a few short hours, and then worked all day. We had a blast and blessed many young men and women who are forgotten by most.

NavNites and Bible Studies

If you are sitting in front of your computer looking at this blog you are probably wondering when our large group meetings (NavNites) are and when our Bible studies are. Well, we have moved from a room in watkins to a room in the hub and now we are headed to sproul. The good news is that we will be meeting in the same room for the rest of the quarter... Sproul 2355.

The theme we are speaking on... thinking on... and trying to work into our lives is The Gospel. Last week we saw that the Gospel is much bigger than we think. God wants the Gospel to be center stage in our lives and He wants it to penetrate all areas of our lives. Come join us as we seek to do this.

Bible studies are mainly on Mondays and Wednesdays. We still have plenty of room and would love for you to join us if you haven't already. Just email me... Brandon. I think my email is on the right hand side of this page.
