College & Grad Student Small Group in Victory Gardens, Chicago

The College and Grad Student Small Group meets every Sunday after church at the Victory Gardens Theater in Chicago. Designed for students in their early twenties and those pursuing graduate studies, the group offers a consistent environment to explore life questions and study the Bible together. Leadership is shared between Naomi Southard, a graduate student at DePaul University, and Gordon Battles, a current Master of Divinity candidate at North Park Seminary. Both leaders are passionate about helping people know Christ and deepen their faith. Participants can expect thoughtful discussion, encouragement, and a safe space to learn more about Jesus and grow spiritually. The group is especially welcoming to young students who want to connect intentionally with peers, share their experiences, and build a supportive community around their faith journey.
