Christian college students face the challenge of finding their people, place, and purpose in their first semester. The urge to compromise their faith arises from the need for community. Navigating a new environment is exciting yet anxiety-inducing as they seek belonging. Trace Hammiter joins the podcast to express why Christian community is vital, offering support, encouragement, and accountability. Merely having Christian friends or joining a fraternity/sorority isn’t sufficient; students require a home base in a local church or campus ministry. The Oaks Collaborative conducts retreats for freshmen to connect with Christ-centered community and embrace a life devoted to Christ in college. These retreats profoundly impact students, establishing them in a Christ-centered foundation and a supportive community from the start of their college journey.
