“I have more confidence to trust God,
After joining CSM I have more confidence to trust God when I don’t feel confident. Compassion for the lost. Giving thanks and remaining in gratitude to the Lord. A desire to reach people who have not heard the gospel and praying over friends and family members who need Christ. Being more watchful and present every day for the big and little things God is doing in my life.”
— Cristina Arnold,
Spring 2026 student.
“Through a healthy church, missions can thrive and be supported.
CSM was an eye-opening experience for me. I have been involved in missions growing up and in the years before I did CSM. However I never really connected the church to missions. CSM opened that world to me and showed me how the two are connected. Through a healthy church, missions can thrive and be supported. Further, the actual equipping of missions is an integral part of CSM. It is not just go and do. It is prepare yourself first. Overall CSM is a great missions movement connected to a local church that equips you on your personal journey in missions.”
— Aron Bos,
Summer 2024 student, current missionary.
“The gospel changes everything,
CSM taught me how to share the gospel in many practical ways and also how to love the people I’m sharing it with, and also it taught me how to apply the gospel to my everyday life.”
— Dre,
Summer 2024 student
“the Lord can move through everyday moments just as much as in bigger, more “set apart” ones.
If I could describe CSM in one word, it would be impactful. Through CSM, I learned what it truly means to have a servant heart. We were able to serve in both the local and global mission fields through outreach with people of all age ranges. As an introverted person, I was stretched outside of my comfort zone, and through that, I was able to grow in boldness to share the Gospel with others and be an extension of who Jesus is. This experience broadened my understanding of missions and showed me that the Lord can move through everyday moments just as much as in bigger, more “set apart” ones. Overall, CSM was a wonderful experience. One that I will always treasure for how much it has guided me in my faith as a believer.”
— Alessa Garcia,
Fall 2025 student.
