But flee youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart \u20142 Timothy 2:22<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formative Years Needing God\u2019s Word<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The college years are perhaps the most formative of a person\u2019s life. For the first time, they begin to grapple with the fundamental issues of life: Who am I? Where do I fit in? What is the meaning of my life? Does man have a purpose? Is there really a God?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How they answer these questions will affect the rest of their lives. Those of us who care for college-aged adults believe they need to be brought to the source of light and truth\u2014 God, especially in His Word. To enable them to answer these questions, we endeavor in the following areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Prayer\u2014<\/b>We believe our prayer accomplishes much more than our work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Ministering the Word\u2014<\/b>As we meet with the students throughout the week, our times are centered on knowing Christ through His Word.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Opening our Homes\u2014<\/b>Church families regularly invite college students into their homes for meals, fellowship, and activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • College Dinner and Fellowship\u2014<\/b>Fellowship\u2014College students gather on a weekly basis to eat and enjoy the Lord together. This time is full of praying, singing, and mutual fellowship in God\u2019s Word.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • College Mountain Retreats\u2014<\/b>Students and chaperones attend semi-annual mountain retreats to gather with students from various colleges in Southern California. Scriptural messages are given to supply and encourage the students in their pursuit of Christ.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    If you are a college student in the Cerritos area, we invite you to contact us for more information, or to be introduced to some of our college students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
