The faith community on this campus has helped me strengthen the foundation of my beliefs. I was in a comfort zone at home. At college, you explore many things. Through different campus Bible study groups and service work, I have explored Christ and my faith. What am I doing wrong? What am I doing right? It has been challenging, but very rewarding.
