Re: College Lifestyles

I can’t say I had the “college experience” that many young twenties look for when they go off to college. Boyce College just wasn’t that kind of place nor was the community college I graduated from. Maybe Brad and Greg could enlightens us on what that was like from their ivy league towers.
I do, however, remember a time, similar to Aaron’s, when I thought the local church had absolutely no bearing on my career decisions. It wasn’t in my framework of thinking to consult members and leaders of my local church.
I think the college students at 3ABC are unique because they have folded themselves into the corporate life of the church. In a season of their life when circumstances lend themselves very heavily toward independence, these faithful brothers and sisters have sought to serve and grow in a community of believers. And that’s exactly what we want. I think there may even be a current trend toward genuine Christian experience and community among young twenty-somethings. Here are a couple of articles worth reading. What Disillusioned 20-Somethings Want and The Young, Restless, Reformed
