What is Fusion?
Each Thursday from 7 pm till 8:15 we come together as a large group community to learn, grow, and worship together through prayer, worship, and presentations from various speakers. Through Fusion, MSOE InterVarsity seeks to create a community for the curious by providing a welcoming space for students to learn about the hope we have in Christ. Fusion provides an opportunity for prayer, worship, hearing encouraging speakers, a safe place to bring friends, and time to get to know members of the InterVarsity community. We hope that you will see the love of Christ through one another, and grow in your relationship with Him. All are welcome!
Locations for Fall
Fusion will be held in VT Cove (back of the first floor of Viets) unless otherwise noted.
