WHo are we?
We are a student run organization on St. John's University Campus in Queens, NY. The goal of our organization is to spread the faith. We want everyone to have a comfortable place to come ask questions about God and get educated answers, all while building friendships and enjoying each others presence. We meet every Thursday in the semester, alternating fellowship and meetings. The time and place is announced on our social media pages so make sure to follow us!
"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
