Grace Chapel has been involved with College and Career ministry for many years. For the past 14 years the ministry has developed and grown at the home of Graeme and Diana Higgs, 1260 Blenheim Terrace, Halifax, N.S [ map ] Each Thursday night during the university calendar young people from many denominations gather to fellowship, worship and study the scriptures in a small group setting.

This fall we are beginning a series on the Book of Revelation, taking a fresh look at this incredible letter to the seven churches in Asian Minor. In an age where we need courage to stand firm in the reality of the Lordship of Jesus Christ, this study will open the curtain for us to see Jesus more clearly, that evil will not overcome, Jesus has already won the great victory. Things are not as they seem!

As usual the small groups will be given plenty of time to ponder and discuss the issues coming out of each weeks study.

The goals of College and Career are as follows:

1. For this age group to connect with one another.
2. Church unity, to experience Christians from all denominations.
   
3. To be challenged to reflect and ask questions, re understanding scripture, understanding our culture and linking the two.
   
4. To be challenged to reach out to their community. Using innovative and creative ways to connect with their generation and unify the church in Halifax.
5. To be global thinkers, to understand God's passion for the world and get involved.
