Keeping Faith in College
College provides students with the environment to open their minds and develop academically in the classroom. However, the experience doesn't have to stop there. College also offers a platform for your student to grow in their relationship with God ; whether it is through their studies, campus activities, or their daily lives. Encourage your student to explore different ways to continue to grow deeper in faith once their college career begins.
