Small Groups

IllinoisIV offers area-specific small groups throughout the dorms and apartments at UIUC.

We are following current University guidelines for COVID-19.
See them here: 
https://covid19.illinois.edu/health-and-support/face-coverings/
  • Face coverings are not required indoors EXCEPT:
    • Face coverings are required in healthcare facilities. For example, these include COVID-19 testing sites, McKinley Health Center, Counseling Center, etc.
    • Face coverings will still be required in spaces governed by the federal mandate. For example, these include Willard Airport, Champaign-Urbana Mass Transit District (MTD) buses, etc.
    • Some university events may still require face coverings as dictated in contracts. For example, the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts will continue to require face coverings at certain ticketed events until further notice.
  • Individuals are always welcome to wear a face covering to protect themselves.

Primarily the effect on Small Group is:
Face coverings are not required at the discretion of your small group leader (talk to them if you have concerns!)

Bible study is a core activity in our chapter because we believe that it is transformational. We use the Inductive Bible Study method because it helps us to find the central truth of a passage and build that truth into our lives. Through small groups, we are committed to building community, studying the Bible, prayer/worship, and reaching our campus. Even if you are exploring or new to the Christian faith, there is a place in our small groups for you! 

We also have focused small groups catered to specific groups on campus including Marching Illini (MI) and Black Campus Ministries (BCM). Information on ministries for international students, students in Greek life, grad students, and Ved/Med students can be found on the University of Illinois area website.
