Helping college students take their first or next step with Jesus, equipping

Get Involved

Wednesday Night Gatherings
Every Wednesday, we get together to open up God’s Word and grow in community together. You will always find great friends, good snacks, and a fun game to kick us off! We would love to see you there!
Project Galveston
Every summer, College Life heads to Galveston, TX for a 7-week discipleship experience where students grow in their faith, learn to study the Bible, live in community, fight sin, and make disciples alongside students from across Texas. While on the island, participants also work local jobs, putting their faith into practice by sharing the gospel with coworkers.
Sunday Night 242
Modeled after Acts 2:42, we get together to pray for each other, our campus, and the nations on Sunday nights. It is our favorite time of the week and we love watching God answer prayers and move in the lives of students!

Student & Alumni Spotlight

Get Connected. Go Deeper.

"College Life has made a great impact on my life. It has provided a community where we all want the end goal of finding the chief end of man. I've learned so much; CL helped me start getting back into church and learning about the bridge diagram has helped to show me that Christ is the answer. I've grown in multiple ways that have helped me better myself by starting to think about what I'm saying as well as think about where others are coming from.”
