EMErGE /i-ˈmərj/: TO Come Into Being
Emerge is InterVarsity Southeast’s annual Asian American student conference. As we gather students from different backgrounds and campuses, we long to cultivate a space to explore the complexities of our identity and faith in Jesus.
Through gathering together as a community to study scripture, engage in worship, and discussions we long to come away with a clearer view of ourselves and who Jesus is. Fun and food are also essential parts of this journey!
