Are you longing for a place where you feel valued, seen, and at home? Every Thursday at 7:15 p.m. in MMR apartment six, Truth Seekers Bible Study welcomes all to their non-denominational Christian bible study.
This is a place where students get the chance to learn about the bible, grow their faith, and build a community that supports and loves them.
When you first walk through the doors, you are welcomed by the two leaders, Dan Konesky, Assistant Pastor, and Samuel Jayakumar, Worship and Bible study leader.
The room is always filled with students eager to learn more about God and excited to live their lives for Jesus.
“My favorite part about leading Truth Seekers is watching people discover that God’s word is not distant or outdated. It’s living and active. There’s something powerful about seeing someone go from casually reading scripture to actually being gripped by it,” said Samuel Jayakumar, Worship and Bible study leader.
Truth Seekers starts out with either worshipping through singing together or a student volunteering to pray for anyone’s request. They are always willing to take prayer requests for anything you need.
A weekly activity in Truth Seekers is going around one at a time to give each person a chance to share their win and war of the week.
The win can be something good that God did in your life, and the war is something you are struggling with or would like prayer for. Students can choose to participate in this if they feel comfortable.
This gives students a chance to share what has been going on in their lives and brings everyone closer together. Everyone claps for you once you share, and it makes you feel loved and supported.
Each week, the bible study topic is different. Instead of Konesky or Jayakumar preaching the entire hour, they make it more of a casual conversation.
It is calm and community-based. Each topic is encouraging, inspiring, and beautiful. For example, recently the topic of the night was “The Holy Spirit” and “The Bible.”
Konesky expresses that his favorite part about leading Truth Seekers Bible Study is “being able to sow into the lives of others the greatest gift of all, which is Jesus Christ.”
Whether you are a Christian or someone who might want to learn more about Jesus, TruthSeekers teaches you so much. It truly is a place where you can learn and feel comfortable asking questions.
“I love when people feel safe enough to ask real questions. Faith deepens when we’re honest. Some of the most meaningful moments aren’t when I’m speaking. It’s when someone in the group connects the dots themselves, and you can see the Holy Spirit illuminating truth in real time.” Jayakumar expressed.
It is suggested to bring your Bibles and notebooks so you can write down scriptures and key points that speak to you. This makes it more engaging.
In Truth Seekers Bible Study, there’s laughter, tears, friends, and smiles all around you.
Truth Seekers isn’t about information transfer. It’s about transformation. The vision isn’t just a weekly gathering. It’s a community shaped by truth, anchored in grace, and committed to living out the gospel together.
“For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” – Matthew 18:20
