“I feel as though I became a Christian all over again when I participated in CSOC. The Bible studies revolutionized how I viewed the Bible and my Christian life, and the weekly home groups supplied me with home-cooked meals and rich fellowship from a larger community of dear Christians.”

“I can’t imagine my Christian life and my college years without CSOC. I came into college full of questions about the Bible, my own Christian experience, and how to pursue the Lord. Thankfully, I was able to ask and find answers for a lot of these questions. I grew more in my relationship with Christ in those few years with Christian Students on Campus than in all the previous years of my life.”

“Joining Christian Students on Campus was like finding an oasis in a desert of vanity and emptiness. Before, my life felt aimless, caught up in pursuits that left me hollow and unfulfilled. But through CSOC, I was introduced to God’s purpose and shown that I can participate in the carrying out of His plan, which is something eternal and deeply meaningful.”

“Being part of CSOC in college helped me to live out my faith in a daily, practical way with other believers, and even see patterns of what that looks like. A highlight from my time in CSOC was definitely reading the Word of God in a more regular way. I’m so thankful I could be a part of this community in my college years, grow in my relationship with the Lord, and make lifelong friends.”
