Jesus is the Question | This Sunday @ 10:30am
Jesus asked a lot of questions and He invites us to wrestle with them years after He first asked them. Join us as we continue our Jesus is the Question series. Together, we’ll look at the questions Jesus asked, what they reveal about His heart, and what they might be asking of us as we follow Him. Come as you are, bring your questions, and let’s keep taking this journey together!

Missions Fest Seattle | A Call To Prayer
Dear Friends in Jesus, I hope that you have all had a year of joy and peace as you have come together in community to grow in the grace and the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ! I am sending this invitation to come and join other communities of believers as we have an opportunity to grow in unity as well as experience the grace of God together at this year’s Missions Fest Seattle 2026. For the past 20 years, the Lord has never failed to impact lives through the key-note speakers, seminars, missions exhibits, and prayer opportunities available at Missions Fest. If we seek Him with our whole hearts, He will be found! This is a promise and He who has promised is faithful and true. CONTINUE READING
Mac & Amy Smith | InterVarsity Utah & Rocky Mountain Region
As I write this newsletter staff around the Rocky Mountain Region are knee deep in new student outreach – some are finishing up leaders retreats while others have been on campus for over a week welcoming new students. The new year is upon us, and we are so excited to see what God will do. Mac, Hudson and I are mostly settled into our new, but it has been a brutal 6 weeks of preparing for our own move, prepping for Regional Staff Conference (RSC), having RSC, moving Gabe, moving ourselves and starting football season and school for Hudson. Thank you for your grace in the delay of this newsletter while we settled in. We would appreciate your prayers; Mac and I are tired. I don’t think I have ever entered a fall this tired before. Pray for moments and spaces of restoration as we start a new school year. CONTINUE READING
