At Christian Students on Campus (CSOC UT Austin), we believe in creating meaningful connections that help you grow spiritually and personally during your college journey. Since it’s difficult to get to know 100 people at once, we organize ourselves into smaller Community Groups (also known as CGs) to ensure everyone has a place where they can feel comfortable and connect in meaningful ways.
Community Groups are the heart of CSOC UT Austin. These are subgroups of current UT students who meet up during the week to pursue Christ together. They may also include one or two alumni who give their time to serve with the club, offering a diverse mix of perspectives and experiences.
College life can be overwhelming. Having a close-knit circle of friends who share your values helps make navigating campus life as a believer easier and more enjoyable. In CSOC Community Groups, you’ll find:
When you need help, you can’t go to 100 people. But you can go to three or four. Your Community Group becomes your go-to circle within the larger CSOC family.
While alumni may help coordinate Bible studies and other events, Community Groups are primarily student-driven. We encourage students to take ownership of their groups and shape them according to their needs and interests.
Do I have to be in a Community Group to join CSOC UT Austin? No, but we highly recommend it for spiritual growth and accountability.
Can I change Community Groups? Yes! If you feel led to join a different group, you’re free to do so through fellowship with other members.
Can I be connected to other Christian clubs or students outside CSOC? Absolutely! We encourage Christian companionships regardless of where UT students meet.
How do I join a Community Group? Pray about which students you feel connected to, then simply ask them about getting involved in their group.
How can I learn more about Community Groups? Reach out directly through email (csoc.ut@gmail.com) or Instagram, or speak with any CSOC member at our next event.
