The Navigators @ USF
Jim Entsminger, NavStaff / Campus Director
Phone:  813-985-3806
USF website: www.usfnavs.com
National website: www.navigators.org

Feeling like there should be more than what you’re experiencing relationally with those around you?  Or with God?  If so, come and join our Nav community as we learn more of what it means to follow Jesus.  We were all created in the image of God and designed for relationships of meaning and depth. With the Bible as our guide, and Jesus as our model, we are journeying together towards that end.  Whether it’s in the challenging discussions at our Wednesday NavNites in the Marshall Center, or in one of our growing number of small group Bible studies, or in one of our many one to one mentoring relationships with someone further along in the journey, you can join with us as we pursue the real and authentic relationships God intended for us!  
Life is hard…but you weren’t designed to go it alone.  Stop by our new USF website for more details!

Tampa, FL  33617
Phone:  813-985-4057
 
Crosswinds is a ministry of the United Methodist Church and exists to change the way USF and the surrounding community experiences the love of Jesus Christ.  We believe one of the most effective ways to help someone connect with Jesus is by doing for them the kinds of things that Jesus Himself might do if He was still on earth; showing kindness in practical ways.  You will find us on campus doing free pizza and candy giveaways, or free gift bag giveaways just to show Jesus' love.  We also serve throughout our community at local homeless shelters and domestic violence shelfters.  The Bible teaches that all people matter to God, so all people matter to us.  Every Wednesday during the Fall and Spring semesters we serve a free dinner beginning at 8:15 pm followed by church starting at 9:05 pm.  Check our our website for more info, or join our group on Facebook -Crosswinds at USF.
