CCN @ MSU - Why and How is it different?


What makes CHANGE Collegian Network (CCN) different from other Christian ministries at MSU?
*
The Lord has blessed MSU with more than one on-campus ministry. Let the Lord lead you to which ministry you should commit to.
*
What makes CCN different from the other ministries?
*
Apologetics - n. (used with a sing. verb)
1. The branch of theology that is concerned with defending or proving the truth of Christian doctrines. 2. Formal argumentation in defense of something, such as a position or system.
*
CCN focuses heavily on rooting and grounding Christians in their faith, strengthening their Christian theology (study of God), and preparing them to"be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" (1 Peter 3:15) through the use of apologetics.
*
*
In CCN meetings, we not only learn about our own faith, but we also learn about other faiths: how they are similar and how they differ. We learn how to share our faith with others intelligently and compassionately. Whether we are refuting evolution or relativism, the goal is always to bring others to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through the preaching of His gospel (Mark 16:15).
*
Then, we all go out as a group and we put what we learn into action!




*
Along with Bible study and apologetics, we also enjoy group worship, prayer, special events, on and off campus fellowship.
*
*
Come out and join us as we endeavor to fulfill Mark 16:15 on campus!
