WHAT WE DO
FRIDAY NIGHT GATHERINGS
FRIDAYS, 7-9PM AT MANNING CHAPEL
A time to worship, discuss questions together, and hear a talk on the Word delivered by a pastor, missionary, volunteer within the PVD community, or staff at Brown/RISD. These community gatherings are the best way to cap off the school week.

OUTREACH

SERVICE
SATURDAYS / WEEKLY
God calls us to love and serve our neighbors and to pursue justice. Isaiah 1:16 calls God’s people to wash themselves, remove the evil of their deeds from before God’s eyes; cease to do evil, learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the orphan, and to plead the widow’s cause. Serving as a community brings us closer to the character of God and aligns our hearts with the Lord's.
BRANCH RETREAT
ANNUALLY!
Together, students head off-campus and hear from a Christian speaker for a weekend. We hang out, cook, roast marshmallows, and learn more about God together. The retreat is a great time to grow your relationship with Christ, fellowship with other students, and build community.
