Hi friends,

Telos 2011 was a phenomenal weekend, where over 100 graduate students and faculty gathered from New York and New Jersey to explore the idea of Radical Hospitality. We learned about God’s deep unending love for us, and His desire for us to be drawn to Him, as well as for us to welcome others into His love and grace. Many of us left the weekend committed to leading lives changed, welcoming the stranger and the unloved and reflecting the true deep love of Christ.

Now you can hear the messages from our esteemed speaker, InterVarsity’s Director of International Student Ministries Lisa Espineli-Chinn, here on our website – click on the link and enjoy!

Come join us for our annual Telos conference!

Telos is Greek for “end goal”; as we journey through our graduate school degrees, what is our end goal? How will we live our lives as professionals and academics? What does it look like to lead a life of faith in the fields of study we are in?

Come to Telos 2011! Telos is our yearly conference where all the graduate christian chapters in New York and New Jersey gather for a weekend of rest, restoration, and renewal.

Our theme this year is Radical Hospitality, where we will learn about God’s radical hospitality for us as well as the call to provide that hospitality to others. We will be featuring the teaching of Lisa Espineli Chinn, the Director of International Student Missions with InterVarsity USA. She has over 20 years of missions experience, and is recognized as a prominent national speaker.
