About Us
What We're All About
Engaging All On Campus
We welcome the questions, objections, and struggles of people honestly searching for the truth. We are committed to responding with honesty and compassion. Skeptics, seekers, and the curious are all welcome.
Exploring The Bible
Through the Bible we see the beauty of God’s character, the life-changing power of His promises, the freedom of His forgiveness, and the delight of living in relationship with Him. DCF exists to walk with people interested in learning more about the essence of Christianity, which is not found in morality or philosophy but in the historical person, Jesus Christ.
Experiencing Redemptive Relationships
We’re certainly not a perfect group of people! But if you want to experience how the gospel of Jesus Christ can heal relationships, spur people toward authentic community, provide ample opportunities to practice forgiveness, and restore broken people, then you’re going to love it here! Our desire is to be a people increasingly characterized by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Captivating The Heart
Everyone is captivated by something, whether it is approval, success, or intimacy. We believe those various “captivations” will leave us restless until we find our ultimate satisfaction in God. We were designed to find our fulfillment, rest, meaning, and value in Jesus Christ.

Greg Laplante
and family — Lacy, Levi, and Silas
Greg experienced the impact of campus ministry firsthand as an 18 yo freshman, hungry to be known and seeking significance in achievement and performance. Reading the Bible with a man who introduced him to a relationship with Jesus was life changing. This was the identity and freedom he was searching for. One life changed by Christ has a tremendous ripple effect on those around you. His passion is to see college students explore this freedom that comes from the Gospel, and that came because somebody took the initiative to share God's Word with him in college.
