Our weekly worship service for young adults and college students, AUXANO, exists to help you walk through the transition and to facilitate connection and growth. This service meets on Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. in the Chapel on Dawson’s campus. We gather together every week to worship God through song, prayer, and the Word.
