Waffles & The Word
We host a weekly Bible Study on campus at JMU to give students an opportunity to grow closer together as we engage in God’s Word. We love to ask big questions and learn new things about the text, but it’s also a great opportunity to check in on and encourage one another during the week. We’ll gather each Thursday morning at 8am in D-Hall for a Bible Study over breakfast.
