Welcome to Purdue & GradIV! We would love to have you join us in any way you can! Below you’ll find some of our upcoming events. Please email kaikens@purdue.edu or emily.umulis@gmail.com for more info. We look forward to meeting you soon!
Bible Study – John’s Gospel - Thurs. 8 pm, 601 Robinson St, West Lafayette (Emily’s House)
Join us to take an in-depth look at scripture and explore what it means to live faithfully as a graduate student at Purdue. Each week we start with some individual study time, followed by questions to get to the heart of the passage, then we discuss how to apply the passage to our lives, and we conclude by spending some time praying for one another. And, ofcourse, snacks are involved! Feel free to join us whenever you are able!

Book Study - Mere Christianity – Wednesday 7:30 am, Greyhouse (backroom)
Contact Person: Maria, meeller@purdue.edu
Core Questions- Every other Tuesday at 7PM, unless otherwise noted. Location will vary.
The core questions group is a place where we can talk about the deep and confusing concepts and problems at the center of Christianity, whether currently a Christian or just curious about the faith. (Why is there evil? How does the Trinity work? What is sin? etc.) We often feel familiar with these questions, but get confused quickly when trying to talk through them. Leadership and location will rotate, and suggestions for discussion topics are welcome (whether or not you want to lead)! One weeks’ discussion will not necessarily be tied to another, so feel free to come on any week you want.
Contact Person: Dennis, dberridg@purdue.edu
Science & Faith Group- 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month at 7pm, location TBA.
How do we integrate Christian theology and the current body of scientific knowledge, especially when it’s not immediately apparent that the two agree? This group will look at answers proposed by various authors, using a different article or book excerpt each week as a springboard for discussion. Each week’s discussion will be independent of the rest, so feel free to jump in at any time. Article/topic suggestions are also welcome!

We’re glad you found the Purdue GradIV’s website! We are also on Facebook here and here, but this is probably the most up-to-date source of information. You are welcome to read more about us.
Don’t be concerned if you can’t come every week; as grad students ourselves, we understand that everyone has busy schedules.
Please feel free to explore and let us know about things that you think should change about the website or sweet stuff that we could add.
At GradIV you can:
- Connect with other Christian grad students
- Engage with Christian faculty members
- Watch Apollo 13 if you’ve never seen it
- Dance down Emily’s front steps
- Eat delicious food
- Grow in Christ through fellowship, prayer, and Bible study
Yay, the website is migrated!
