Tuesday Nights

Tuesdays @ 7:00pm
The Herrell family
The Jones family

Jordan & Meg Herrell

We are both from Springdale Arkansas and attended the University of Arkansas. After college we got married in 2015 and moved back to Springdale. Since then we have grown our family to include our son Reed. Meg is a school teacher at Jones Elementary in Springdale and Jordan works as a project manager for a construction company in Fayetteville.

We want to lead a college community group because of leaders that have come before us and modeled what that looks like so well and loved us. We hope that we can become a group that makes lifelong friendships and disciples.

Logan & Gracie Jones

We moved to Springdale from Little Rock in early 2025 & are looking forward to many more years building a life & loving others here in NWA! Gracie is from Katy, TX & Logan grew up right here in Springdale, AR. We met at Harding University & got married in 2022. Logan is a caseworker for Youth Villages helping kids aging out of foster care & Gracie is a pediatric hematology/oncology nurse at Arkansas Children’s Northwest. We also have a loveable yellow lab named Harmony! Our goal for this community group is to foster community, build relationships, & to show college students the love of Christ that has been shown to us all our lives.

Matt & Jessica Brown

Our main job is raising (and homeschooling) our crew of 4 kiddos. We also run an international nonprofit, write creatively, and do occasional work in the medical field. We host because we love being around college aged people, and we also want to help others realize their identity in Christ.

Noah & Sam Scott

We moved from Charleston, South Carolina to Fayetteville last year where we felt poured into by our own church community. Noah does defense contracting while Sam is a stay at home mom to Levi and Ronan. We both went to college at the U of A and feel a desire to serve college students based off our own experience at the university. We want students to feel poured into at all phases of their life no matter what they are going through similarly to the way Jesus and his disciples poured into the early Christian churches. Living life with one another and going over the Bible together is what we believe is the best way to do that. What better way to do that than in a formative and foundational phase of life like college?

The Wright family

Michael & Randi Wright

We have two sons, Theo and Noah. Michael works as an Ecom manager and Randi is a stay at home mom. During college, we actually met through a community group that we joined at our old church. We have a desire to build God’s kingdom through college group because of how much God worked in us individually during our time at the U of A through many older men and women. It really bolstered our faith to stand on God’s desire for our walk with him in our marriage, family, and friends.

Boys Only Group

Wednesdays @ 6:30pm

Simon & Allegra Pierce

Both of us moved here to attend the U of A. Simon enjoys helping people learn more about the Bible, wrestling with our 2 boys, spending time with Allegra. and bowfishing. Allegra did event planning and I worked for local venues before becoming a mom and now stays at home with Owen (5) and Finley (3).

Simon: I lead a community group because a man named Tom led one for me when I was 18. It changed my life and I want others to have that opportunity.

Allegra: College was a challenging time for my faith but God brought me kind and safe people to shelter me along the way. My hope is that my home and family can be a safe space for students during their own faith journey
