Welcome!
FOCUS is the graduate chapter of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We are a student-led and student-supported group; our purpose is to provide a Christ-centered environment in which graduate and professional students can grow spiritually, develop intellectually, interact socially, and share their Christian faith with others.
To this end, we meet approximately every other Friday during the academic year for Large Group, which involves dinner (either potluck or provided), worship, prayer, and usually a speaker and/or discussion. We also organize various social events, weekly on-campus discussion and prayer groups, service activities, retreats, and special events -- the best way to stay informed is to sign up for our listserv (mailing list).
To learn more about FOCUS, please browse the website or email us at focusiv @ unc dot edu.
