conversation, learning, and discipleship; engages the world through missions; and creates experiences that nurture the

CSF Georgia
Tech“I have met so many people I
consider my close friends through CSF. This group
truly defines what a community is: people who care and support you
to “live a life worthy of the
calling you have received” from God.” - Morgan
Keeling, second-year student at Georgia Tech
CSF Mercer“In this
fellowship, I find people who seek
God, and in doing so invite
others to journey with them, struggling together to
discern how this path might look, how the God we
are seeking might look, and where we might find the boldness to live as called.”
- William Scruggs, first-
year student at Mercer
University
CSF at UGA
“All of us yearn for genuine community—a gathering of friends in which we know we are loved and that we
belong. We want the confidence that faith provides and assurance that God is with us no matter what happens to us. At CSF at UGA, we strive to engage Christ in a
university context to build relationships, deepen faith, and serve others.” – CSF at UGA Development Team
