Sojourn Students
A place for students to belong, ask real questions, and follow Jesus.
When & Where
WEDNESDAYS | 7PM-8:30PM
During the school year, students meet Wednesdays (except on First Wednesdays) from 7:00–8:30 PM at Sojourn on the Hill (1027 McRae Hill Rd). A typical night includes food, games, honest teaching through a book of the Bible, and small-group conversation where every question is fair game.
Current Teaching Series
-
This fall, we'll be studying the Book of Judges and examining ancient Israel's cycle of apostasy, oppression, repentance, deliverance, and peace.
As we survey the lives of the twelve judges and witness Israel's descent into lawlessness, our hearts and minds will be drawn towards God's promise of the Perfect Leader, One who is selfless, obedient, compassionate, humble, and, most importantly, mighty to save.
Our Judges series will lead us directly into Advent, where we will encounter Immanuel, God with us!

For our November gathering, as we lead up to our infamous Thanksmas party, we’ll be examining the significance of the Advent Season through the story of Scripture and engaging with passages from Saint Athanasius’ legendary work, On the Incarnation.
This will be a really fun opportunity for our students to engage with some of the most important source texts in Church History in a way that is approachable, understandable, and, most importantly, filled with joy and wonder.

We love love, and what better way to take in the love God has lavished upon us than by gathering together as a community and spending time with one another? We’ll have Valentine’s-themed crafts, sugar cookies to decorate, cardamom lattes, and a brief lesson on Saint Katherine of Alexandria!
