Build Intentional Community.

Connecting in community is meaningful. 

CSF has several small groups meeting all over campus and throughout Bloomington.  

Small groups are a space where a wide spectrum of personalities, interests, and backgrounds can feel welcome and cared for.

We do this in community, hearing perspectives, asking questions, identifying confusion, and clarifying life with God, as the people/children of God.

Check out our small groups this year!

Book Study
On-campus, 7:30pm

Hi! I’m Nick and I serve as the Associate Campus Minister. I will be leading a book study over Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning. The book is a powerful testimony on human perseverance and resilience especially amidst great suffering. But in todays’s world when we encounter trails, it is increasingly difficult to rely on our own strength. We will look through Frankl’s work with a focus on how God uses our suffering and how we can know God’s will for our lives amidst life’s hardships.

TUESDAYS
Titus 10 Study
On-campus, 4pm

Men live in a day and time where it isn’t clear how they are to work, play, love and serve. Conflicting messages tell men to lead, while others say get out of the way.  Men need a definition of manhood, one that is timeless and authoritative. Men need a community to unpack and apply that definition, and we will strive to build that network here. We will be reading Maximized Manhood by Edwin Louis Cole – A book written to help men realize their need for God in every area of their life and start mending relationships with Christ and their family.

Leif Madsen is a clinical associate professor in the school of public health at IU Bloomington where he teaches graduate athletic training students. Across his tenure in academia, Leif has found immense value in mentoring college students as they navigate young adulthood, and he looks forward to using this small group to help motivate young men to lead God-centered lives. In his free time, Leif enjoys camping, hiking, playing music, and completing various home renovations…but the light of his world is his family, including his wife of 11 years, Amanda, and their two daughters Brenna (6) and Reese (2).
