Campus Crusade for Christ is a worldwide, interdenominational Christian organization. It was founded by Bill and Vonette Bright in 1951 at UCLA. Campus Crusade is active on over 2000 campuses around the globe in 191 countries. Campus Crusade for Christ now has 25,000 full time staff and about 300,000 trained volunteers worldwide serving on campuses and in community based ministries. Our goal is to be able to give each of the 60 million college students worldwide the opportunity to hear the Gospel!
Here at UC Davis, our vision is to experience, live, and speak the Gospel both here and around the world. We desire to continually deepen our love for God and grow in our faith through direction from His Word. We pray that God would transform us to be more like Him and send us out to be laborers for Him.
The mission of Campus Crusade for Christ is to turn lost students into Christ-centered laborers. Our purpose is to help fulfill the Great Commission, found in Matthew 28:18-20.
"Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the end of the age."
We believe that a relationship with God through Jesus Christ is the only answer to hope in this life and eternity. Jesus says in John 10:10, "I came that they might have life and have it abundantly." Through surrendering, we can have a relationship with God and find meaning and purpose. This is the life God intended us to have.
God desires to shape our lives to His eternal purpose and use us to make an eternal impact in the lives of those around us. We hope to share God's life-giving message to everyone possible, and then trust Him with the results.
