What

Community Life Groups
Every Vanguard student becomes part of a Student Life Group, meeting for about and hour each week. These small groups or men or women serve as a sounding board when you have a tough week, prayer support, encouragement, discussion groups and just plain relaxation and fun time. What your group will do depends on what your interests are, but the goal of fellowship and prayer remain the standard.
