Community Groups are a place to grow in your faith, build meaningful relationships, and walk through life together.

Groups meet throughout the week in homes, at our Ministry House, and elsewhere. There’s something for every schedule and stage of life.

Come for an inspiring message, and to hang with other students from across campus!

We know how overwhelming life can feel at times. Our experiences, our choices, our fears, our questions and all of the daily stuff can just pile up until God seems far away and impossible to find. But He’s not!

Sometimes though, we have to push back from the daily routine, purposefully encounter Jesus Christ, and allow Him to refocus us. God’s intent is to restore and heal every corner of our souls so that we can live in freedom and participate fully in His plan! Restore is a 2 day, 1 night retreat for women at the Holiday Inn Manhattan at the Campus in Manhattan, KS. Powerful messages and transparent testimonies provide opportunities to go deeper in your relationship with Jesus, receive healing, and see life very differently!

We will meet at the Holiday Inn at the Campus in Manhattan. Room Check-In begins at 3:00. Feel free to come early to check in and drop your luggage in your room. Restore registration begins at 4:00 at the Conference Room. Programming begins at 5:00 promptly.

We will be catering a tasty dinner on Friday night. A hot breakfast is included and available in the morning down in the lobby. There is a coffee shop down the street if you fancy something more custom.

On Saturday we will take a refreshing break and walk to any of the nearby restaurants for lunch. We will also provide an array of snacks to keep you fueled and satisfied. There will be ample time for fellowship and games Friday night.

JFA will be conducting local pro-life outreach events (like the one pictured above) during the week following this seminar. You're invited to participate! Attend the workshop listed above or contact local representative Kristina Churchman to get more details.

Men's Encounter is a time for men to get away and encounter God, perhaps like never before; a time to consider, give thought to their lives and discover solutions to the unique challenges facing men.

It's important to take the time to step away and gain perspective. Whether you think you have it all figured out or not, you will benefit from attending and you will come home with no regrets. From the time you leave until the time you return, you will have nothing to worry about; all meals, transportation and lodging is included.

As guys, we tend to think next time or next season will be a better time to go, and we put it off, only to find out there really isn't a better time. The time is now for us to become the men we were created to be! Sign Up
