ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE?
We are a community of students at FIT who seek and follow Christ. Our vision is to provide settings that cultivate intimacy with God and friendship with one another, so that to Christians and non-Christians in every generation, Christ is shown to be real, powerful, and life changing. For us this starts at building a community of love and mercy.

CORE VALUES
Our core values reflect the necessary foundations for developing a mature gospel worldview. This is a holistic endeavor that engages the whole person, beginning with a renewed love for God and this world.
