We are a group of students on a journey. Along the journey there are questions: We wonder if God is knowable, if religion is relevant, if faith is possible? We don't have all the answers, and sometimes we don't even know where to begin with the questions. But we don't shy away from the wonder, and we don't tire from the search. That's where God meets us - in the midst of our honest grappling with heartfelt issues. Join us at Real Life as we explore God, our world and our lives. Our mission and the mission of Real Life is to introduce people to a real relationship with Jesus Christ and to learn what it means to live a life lead by Him. Come join us!
