New student on campus? Welcome! Here are some things you need to know:

The Christian life is a life of warfare, and you're about to enter into one of the most intense battles you will ever face. It is very likely that opposition to your faith will never be stronger than the opposition you will face here. You won't just be taught "competing worldviews"—they will be assumed and yours will be attacked. And not only will your faith be attacked (in all kinds of ways), but all kinds of immorality will be more accessible to you than they ever have been. You will be tempted on all sides.

But while you have an increased freedom to sin, you also have an opportunity to give yourself to building God's Kingdom that you may never have again. You are young, single (probably), full of energy, you have very few responsibilities, and you're looking for something great worth devoting your life to. Let us be the first to tell you: There is nothing greater and more eternally significant than a life devoted to serving Jesus Christ.

The simple reality is that the decisions you make while you are here will determine the trajectory of your life. That makes college not only one of the toughest battles you face, but one of the greatest opportunities you have to grow in your relationship with Jesus and to set a pattern for your life that honors God and builds His Kingdom.

We're here to train you for the battle, to direct you to the fight, to encourage you to stand firm, and to help you make those decisions that will impact the rest of your life. We're here to help you fight for your faith.
