Institutes of Religion are places where young adults can gather, socialize, eat, participate in fun activities, and take religious classes. Institutes are most often in their own independent building and are adjacent to campuses of higher learning (College or University).

Although they are near institutions of higher learning, Institute of Religion participants can enroll in Institute courses regardless of their University or College status.

A gathering place for young single adults (YSAs) is a designated location (in an existing meetinghouse or institute building) for YSAs and their friends to gather and participate in wholesome activities and experiences that will bring them closer to one another and to God.

Gathering Places are run and coordinated by Institute staff/volunteers and those who participate can expect the same great experiences that students may enjoy at program adjacent to and institution of higher learning.
