No matter what a student’s status is as a Blue Devil, chances are most of them crave a place to fit in on campus. If you’ve wandered the halls of the student center or spotted their flyers on the walls, you may have already discovered the organization of Christian Students at Central.

However, you may wonder, is this a place for me? Ethan Leach, a business management student at CCSU, found himself asking this same question two short semesters ago and now holds the position of treasurer in the club. Leach was eager to speak out on the club’s behalf.

“The goal of the club is to reach out to students on campus who are seeking the Lord and seeking other people who are Christians as well,” said Leach.

The club has grown to about 20 active members. The large amount of interest shown in the club has caused the organization to add another meeting day to accommodate member’s conflictions with course schedules. Bible study meetings are now every Wednesday from 12 to 1 p.m. and Thursday 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Sunday morning worship is expected to be a weekly event.

“The bible study time is usually just a time for students to come and meet…we sing songs and read the bible,” said Leach.

Leach emphasized that the club was more than just a form of exercising faith, but that it was “a place for building life-long friendships.”

The club is directed mainly by the students with older alumni participating and supporting the club with their experience.

“I’ve actually found that is helps my college life in the sense of my studies and meeting new people,” said Leach.

Leach expressed that Christian values and a college lifestyle actually fit pretty well together. The club offers alternatives to “partying” and gives more positive ways of entertaining.

The organization encourages all students of all faiths to learn more about Christianity, other Christian students at CCSU and essentially about themselves.
