Finding God & Jesus at MIT: We are an interdenominational Christian fellowship started by baptists long ago at MIT. We lead students from a variety of evangelical, non-denominational & other backgrounds to grow as followers of Jesus with weekly worship called Refuge, small groups, fellowship & other ministry events. We focus on discipleship – Growing In to love Jesus more and on outreach/mission – Going Out to love others.
At Refuge, we seek to know Jesus Christ and make him known here on campus and around the world. Undergrads and graduate students, who follow Christ or seek to know God, gather for Refuge on Wednesday nights for a bite of food, worship, and Bible study, join weekly small groups, and attend various churches on Sunday.
We also organize game nights, Spring and Fall retreats, and holiday dinners. We look forward to meeting you and welcome you to MIT! Contact us at bsf-request@mit.edu. Please fill out our card at bsf.mit.edu/connect for more info. Join us for Refuge on Wednesdays beginning at 5:30pm for a bite and 6:00pm as we continue our study of Mark together.
