PROGRESSIVE CHRISTIANS @USC WELCOMES YOU

ABOUT

Hello there! Welcome! 👋

As young followers of Christ, we believe in creating a space where faith and understanding grow together. We know college is a time of big questions and deeper exploration of what you believe and why you believe it.

Here's what makes our community special: we cherish the rich traditions of Christian faith while engaging thoughtfully with the world around us. You know those late-night conversations in the dorm about science, faith, and everything in between? Those are exactly the kind of discussions we love to have!

We believe God gave us both faith and reason for a purpose. When we study Scripture, we dive deep into its historical context, poetic beauty, and profound teachings – not to diminish its power, but to truly appreciate its depth and wisdom. Just as Jesus used parables to share truth, we understand that not every passage needs to be read literally to reveal God's message.

Our community embraces Jesus's radical message of love and inclusion. We're proud to be an open and affirming community that celebrates our LGBTQ+ siblings in Christ. We believe that God's love extends to everyone, exactly as they are, and we joyfully welcome and celebrate all sexual orientations and gender identities. We honor committed relationships and marriages of all kinds as expressions of God's love.

We're passionate about putting our faith into action right here and now. Following Christ's example, we focus on spreading love, working for justice, and caring for our world and all its people. We believe God's kingdom is built through acts of kindness, pursuit of peace, and celebration of beauty in all its forms.

If you're looking for a place to explore your faith honestly, ask challenging questions, and grow alongside other students who are on the same journey, you've found your spiritual home. Come join us – bring your questions, your doubts, your hopes, and your whole authentic self.

You are welcome here. Just as you are, exactly as God made you.
