the story

In January 2005, a group of friends at New Life Church in Colorado Springs got together and decided to start a small group for college students and twenty-somethings. It was a simple concept: God and friendship. They called it, "The Spot," and it was definitely the spot to be on Tuesday nights. Every week, dozens of people would gather together to worship, talk, and just enjoy living life together. Each of the group's leaders would take a smaller group of people and lead a discussion over just about anything, from relationships and missions to pizza and coffee.

One of those groups became known as Rubicon, the river that Julius Caesar crossed that made him an outlaw in the eyes of the Roman Senate. Today Rubicon simply means, "the point of no return." And there would be no turning back from there. For the next five years, even as other groups from The Spot ran their course and eventually dissolved, Rubicon continued strong. The bonds that held the group together were strong, and their faith was passionate, their desire for God forefront in their minds.

Over the years, the group has changed from week to week. Different people's lives have intersected with Rubicon from a matter of weeks to a number of years. Now, the group is as vibrant as ever, and the passion for God remains. Even with the struggles of daily life, we're learning how to walk with God day in and day out. God shows each of us something new about ourselves, about each other, and about Him every week. We're going all in with Him, and there's no going back.

Rubicon.

We've passed the point of no return. Have you?
