YOU WILL NOTICE THAT WE SAY “WHO” WE ARE AND NOT “WHAT” WE ARE.
THAT IS BECAUSE CCF = PEOPLE. AT HEART, WE ARE NOT AN ORGANIZATION, A SYSTEM, OR AN EVENT.
WE ARE A COMMUNITY. WE DO NOT GO TO CCF - WE ARE CCF!
Who We Are
Spend any time with us and you’ll quickly see we’re all different. We are future scientists, teachers, artists, and who-knows-what! We’re Running Start students and we are high-school grads pursuing a degree. We grew up as Christians, atheists, Buddhists, and nothing at all.
But we do have a few things in common!
We recognize that college is a unique time of our lives and we want to make the most of it. And Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full”. As those of us choosing to follow Him are experiencing that to be true.
Jesus also said no one should follow Him by themselves, so as a community, we are involved in each other’s lives. We gather every week in small groups called “Cores” where we share life, pray, and read the Bible together. All of us in Core have the opportunity to meet regularly with a small group leader to help us grow in following Jesus well (we call these “one-to-ones”). There’s another opportunity on Tuesdays @ 4:30pm where everybody in CCF comes together to have fun in the Ford 119, worship God, learn from the Scripture, and share with each other what God is doing in the world. During years where we are in-person we would eat a (free) meal together, but we have been unable to during the pandemic. Whenever we gather in these various ways, we anticipate interacting with God himself as the Holy Spirit fills our lives with his presence.
In CCF we care about equipping our students in ways they can share the truth of the gospel. In a hurting, broken, needy world, Jesus claims to bring healing, life, and hope – and He sends us as His messengers! We care deeply for the Skagit campus, for the Skagit Valley community, and for the world, so you’ll find us sharing the good news about Jesus wherever we go – out on campus, in our classes, and on yearly mission trips!
We would love to have you join us! Bring your enthusiasm, your questions, your faith and your doubts, your gifts and your weaknesses, your dreams and your fears. We’d love to be part of your life at Skagit! Our community always has room, wherever you find yourself!
“Friendship is one of the greatest gifts a human being can receive. It is a bond beyond common goals, common interests, or common histories.”
And a few other things you might like to know about us:
Our community has been active on Skagit campus for over 10 years!
We’re part of a larger community worldwide called Chi Alpha.
We are connected to CCF at Whatcom Community College and at Western Washington University! Together we are Bellingham Chi Alpha (BXA).
We have a Statement of Faith and we see ourselves as part of the global and historical community of people who have decided to attach themselves to Jesus.
