Ratio Christi Small Group Sign-Up Form (Fall 2024)
Ratio Christi (Latin “reason for Christ”) serves to defend the Christian faith in honest dialogue with both our skeptical & believing friends at Texas A&M. Together, we investigate the historical, philosophical, and scientific reasons for the truth, rationality, and significance of the message of Jesus Christ, a discipline known as apologetics. Ratio Christi is an international organization with university chapters around the world.

We have large group meetings that are more lecture oriented, as well as discussion based small groups. For more information about large group meetings, check the schedule here.

Take a look at the small groups we have planned this semester and select which one(s) you're interested in! If the time and place doesn't work for you, or you need help with transportation, just say so in the last question on this form.
