Becoming more like Jesus doesn't just happen by accident.  It requires an intentional choice and disciplined actions to join in this pursuit!   THAT'S WHY CSF is offering a Summer Bible Reading Plan - - so whether you're here in Springfield for the summer, or at home or traveling somewhere, we can all join in the pursuit TOGETHER!   

DAY 1 begins on Monday, June 11th...

Paul Harvey, an American radio broadcaster, was known for ending his reports with his trademark phrase "and now you know....the rest of the story".  As we begin the Spring launch of students graduating from our ministry, the rest of the story is about to begin!

Over the weekend we hosted our annual Graduates Dinner, and each Senior received a CSF mug with "&" on the back as a reminder of what we're praying about what "the rest of the story" will be for them.  The vision of CSF is that we would see students be disciples who make disciples, while on campus & for the rest of their lives.  Whether they're going on for more education or entering the work force, we want to see these disiciples continue to make disciples. The rest of the story....the "& for the rest of their lives" starts now! 

Please RSVP here or by calling gretchen at (217)414-9198

It's an encouraging thing when college students understand their mission to reach their campus with the Gospel.  But when International students get on board with the mission, things get really exciting!   

The CSF Year-End Challenge gives us more opportunities to reach out to all kinds of students at UIS! 

Our CSF Set-up crew arrives at Lincoln Residence Hall on Mondays at 6pm to start setting up lights, soundboard, backdrop, and getting the computers ready for our 9pm worship service.
