Frequently Asked Questions

 
 
  • Congratulations! We’re excited too to meet you and invite you out to our events this coming new school year. In fact, we actually have a lot of activities and ways to get connected before the new school year starts during the summer! Subscribe to our e-mail list and we will be sending out details of events as they come. And then during move-in week (aka “zero” week), look for our table out on library walk and drop by and say “hi”! We’ll be having tons of activities during the first couple weeks of school for you to get involved in…can’t wait to meet you!

  • We at Christians at UCSD welcome Christians from diverse backgrounds, and even welcome anyone who is not a Christian but interested in what it means to be a Christian. We are not associated with any particular denomination, but we welcome all and any fellowship from any member of the Body of Christ, for “…the same Lord is Lord of all and rich to all who call upon Him” (Romans 10:12). We hold the faith that is common and fundamental to all believers, and you can see a complete statement of our faith and beliefs on the page christiansatucsd.org/our-faith

  • At Christians at UCSD, we have a number of staff members who help out with the club and act as mentors to many of our students. Many are Alumni and many have had training in church service and ministry on a college campus. They would be very happy to meet your family and get a chance to be involved in the growth and development of Christ in your lives! We also have a vast and rich community of Christians from all ages who are a wealth of knowledge, experience, and even companionship for your student while they are in college. Finally, we believe there is no better way to grow in Christ than learn together and be together “with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart” (2 Tim. 2:22), aka their peers! We have a number of college students, graduate students, and even UCSD staff that form our community together.

  • Absolutely! We welcome anyone who is interested in learning what it is to be a Christian. We warmly invite you to join our events and there are many families and fellow students that are more than happy to have you join them. You can still join our family and we hope to be able to share with you why we enjoy being Christians!

  • We often partner together with BFA, or Bibles for America. They have a mission to provide free study Bibles (i.e. Bibles with expository notes) and they also provide very wonderful Christian literature. You can get your free literature and sign-up at biblesforamerica.org. We also do have some free Bibles in storage that we would love to share with you – just drop by and let one of our staff members know and we’ll get it to you as soon as we can!

  • We do not offer any living solutions currently. Many in the club choose to live together, and so we encourage you to get a chance to meet them and get to know members in the club!

  • Yes we do! We’re sorry that we won’t have the pleasure to get to know you here at UC San Diego, but we are a nationwide network of over 80 sister clubs are we are still expanding! Below is a map with our sister clubs in the United States and Canada. There are still some not listed here that are being newly sprouted! Shoot us a message at ucsdchristians@gmail.com, and we’ll try our best to connect you with our sister club at your new campus. And many of our clubs visit and we often also visit during some of our club trips, so there’s a chance we’ll meet again!
