Connect with God: At Fall Retreat, we will explore how God is present in both our joys and anxieties, how God has power to heal and restore us and our communities, and how God gives us purpose in our lives and on campus. Whether you’ve studied the Bible for years, are unsure about faith and have no idea where to start, or are somewhere in the middle, we’ve designed this weekend for you. Come to have a fresh encounter with God and to make space to explore your questions.
Enjoy time in nature: Hike, stargaze, play sports, explore! We’ll be at a camp in New Hampshire with time to relax, play, and take a break from classes.

Through the 2023 Boston Justice Program, we want participants to encounter Jesus in community and to be developed with the character and capacity to love God, love others, and love creation well. We will be reading and discussing through scripture to teach us about power and God's heart for us to steward it well so we can be incarnationally present and compassionately engaged with the people and places around us.
This program will be hosted by the Global Engagement & Justice of New England's InterVarsity team (GEJ NEIV). Our purpose is to invite staff and students into immersive discipleship opportunities to help propel forward the love of God, His justice, and the shalom of His Kingdom ‘here on earth as it is in heaven.’ Our vision as GEJ NEIV is to be embodied faith communities that are Holy Spirit led, proclaiming the Gospel, and rooted in forgiveness and reconciliation as we pursue Jesus’ Kingdom shalom alongside our neighbors.
The program will take place 10am-4pm each day the week of March 13th-17th. The cost is $25 for the week.

Registration Cost $150
October 14-16, 2022
Toah Nipi @ Rindge, NH
The abundance of God overflows. His water never runs dry! However, this might not be everyone’s lived experience. Especially over the past two years as the lived experienced is encased with politics, race, violence, physical and mental health. God’s desire is for human flourishing but what does that look like today in the midst of these experiences?
At Fall Con, we are centering on God’s heart for people and for communities. It is a weekend for connection and chance to encounter Jesus in community with students across Greater Boston! You’ll have a blast sharing and hearing stories, along with diving into God’s story. In quiet alone or in community with many, there is space at Toah Nipi for you to ask questions and learn more about God. We can’t wait to gather in September and are expectant for how God will satisfy us!
Registration Cost $150

Jesus & Justice 2021 will be a hybrid program based in Boston for MA based college and university students seeking to actively grow in following Jesus with their lives when it comes to issues of systemic injustice. As a cohort, we will spend some time in Scripture, hear from fellow believers how justice is part of their career work, and partner actively with some of them in the ongoing work of extending Jesus’ love and shalom to communities across Boston.
Morning Gatherings will be in-person:
(9am-1pm, including lunch) COVID-precautioned in-person hands-on 25* person cohort of seeing, learning, and engaging with some of Boston's issues of injustice. Throughout the week, we will be hearing from local leaders how their faith in Jesus motivates them in their ongoing work for the betterment of systems and people. Each day we will partner with a different organization, moving through the week from learning history of people, systems, and how their stories are impacted by COVID (or exacerbated). We will be partnered to learn from and serve with various organizations: from organizations seeking to be living systems of Jesus’ hope in the city, to caring for immigrants, to public health, to youth and families, and to the environment. As a cohort we will be present, will listen, and will engage with what they are already doing, giving of our time and skills where invited.
Evening Gatherings will be online via Zoom:
(7-9pm) will be a time to debrief the day, hear from local believers or in Scripture read what God has to say about justice, and spend time in prayerful reflection on what we are learning as a cohort.
