Kairos (Grads, Young Adults)

Sundays, 1:15-2:15pm (after lunch) at UPC
Kairos is a group for anyone interested in Bible study and community building, and welcomes anyone who wants to join. We actively engage in reading the Bible together and discussing openly about what the Word tells us, questions arising from what is written, and how it can impact us in different aspects of our lives - spiritually and socially. We also aspire to be a supportive community that cares for each other, participates in group activities, and provides a social network of friends centered in Christianity - ranging from life-long believers to those who just want to learn more.

Koi (Grads, Adults, Couples)

Fridays 7:30pm at UPC
Koi is inspired by the character of Christian fellowship seen in Acts 2:42. "They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." We're a group of graduate students, post grads, and working professionals who live into our joy in Christ through shared learning, eating, and praying.

Agape (Undergrads)

Love God. Love People

Agape is a Christian undergraduate ministry at UCLA focused on helping students grow in their relationship with God and build lasting, Christ-centered friendships. 

We meet on campus each week for a 1.5-hour Bible study. A typical meeting includes a game, a time of worship, and a discussion-based study of Scripture. We have weekly or biweekly events held both on and off campus, as well as yearly overnight retreats. Activities range from dining out and bowling to karaoke nights and beach outings.
