We love college students. We love being in a city filled with college students. We believe that reaching out to students, and including them in our community, is a big part of our calling and identity as a church.
If you’re a college student, it’s important for you to know that these are the most spiritually significant years of your life. The choices you make now will put you on a trajectory towards God or away from Him for many years to come. College isn’t a time to take a vacation from God—it’s a time to embrace him. This doesn’t happen in a vacuum, but always in connection with other people, both on campus and in the local church.
From the beginning, liberti has been a movement that includes college students—not just as wallpaper, but as active participants and leaders in our community. We thank God for the students who have helped build this church, and for the many who have stayed to be a part of our community after graduation.
We believe students need to get plugged in and meaningfully involved in the life of a local church community. We have a high view of what students can do during their college years. In the Bible, and throughout history, God has often used young people to turn the world upside down. We believe he can do the same thing here and now.
As a church, we believe that we are called to the campuses around us.
Universities—particularly ones located in the cities—are some of the most missionally significant places in the world. People gather from every nation, worldview, and lifestyle, and we seek to lead and serve student movements that will be living demonstrations of the truth and love of Jesus Christ on each campus.
We encourage you to become involved with one of the Christian campus movements listed below, and to become an active part of liberti’s church community.
