Metro Area Day
Each semester, we host a Metro Area Day for InterVarsity students from around the Twin Cities. You can come, your friends from campus can come, and your friends who go to a different campus can come! This is a great opportunity for you to grow in your faith around a big group of college students from other campuses who are doing the same thing.
​
Join us this spring on Saturday, September 20th from 9am-1pm at Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Plymouth, MN (5005 Northwest Blvd, Plymouth, MN 55442).
​
We'll spend in community, worship, Scripture study, prayer, and breakouts on a topic that you want to learn more about.
