Every Nation Campus, an international Christian group, is working to build its presence at TCU through religious fellowship and activities meant to give students a break from the stress of studying.
The TCU branch of Every Nation Campus has 20 active members after launching in the fall.
“Along with our consistent active members, ENC has seen new faces at every meeting,” said Joya Ogier, a junior majoring in film-TV-digital media and the president and founder of the TCU ENC chapter.
ENC meets every other Friday evening. A typical biweekly meeting includes an engaging activity, such as playing video games like Just Dance or Mario Kart, to give students a break from studies and an opportunity to get to know one another.
“Our meetings mainly focus on relationship building within the group,” Vice President Sydnee Moody, a junior speech-language pathology major, said.

“The focus is campus outreach and helping members better understand their faith,” Moody said. She said ENC hopes to reach those curious about the Christian faith, help them grow in faith and find community while doing so.
Besides the group’s scheduled meetings, ENC holds One-2-One Bible studies throughout the week where members read scripture together and break down key terms like salvation, fellowship and lordship. The study helps members learn about their faith and includes people outside those who regularly attend the bi-weekly meetings, Ogier said.
In addition to providing faith-based teachings, ENC has helped members find their place at TCU, said Norah Blomberg, a sophomore political science major and active ENC member. “ENC has helped me build real relationships with people who constantly encourage me,” Blomberg said. “This experience has allowed me to grow in my faith in new ways.”
Having helped establish ENC’s presence on campus this year, Ogier hopes as founder that the chapter continues to grow and further reach the TCU student body in the future.
