President William Tate, Mrs. Tate, Sergeant Bryant Myers, and Senior Executive Assistant Alexa visited the Campus Light College Church mentors and student leaders this past Friday night (11/14). What a surprise and honor that they would choose to spend their precious Friday evening hanging out with us. We got to hear President Tate share his passion, heart, and vision for Rutgers University and its students; learn about his and Mrs. Tate’s life journey; and receive heartfelt

Hey! First off, thanks for checking out Campus Light. We’ve heard about the whispers, the Reddit threads, the DMs from your roommate’s cousin’s friend—and yep, the rumors have made the rounds. So let’s talk about it! Q: Omg I heard Campus Light is sus because they're always on campus with their tables and giving out free snacks and stuff.

As a stereotypical Asian kid, academics were non-negotiable, of course. But college also meant freedom, and after years of being told what to do, I was ready to do what I wanted to do. My motto was simple: work hard, play hard. Working hard summed up in three words: passing organic chemistry. I proved to myself that I could handle

Starting a retreat from scratch... how did they do it? A bit of hard work, a bit of endurance, and a whole lot of God.

This spring break, a handful of us at Campus Light had the privilege to travel to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic for a mission trip. It was a joint effort with our sister church in NYC, Renew College Church. Our network has been partnering with Cru and Filter of Hope for many years now, but this is the first time that we as Campus Light have been able to go. Filter of Hope's mission is to distribute water filters to people who do not have access to clean drinking water and

This past weekend, we celebrated the baptisms of our friends Layla (senior) and Evan (new grad)! Sharing their stories of how Jesus changed their lives, we marveled at how God brought Layla to Mark Bible studies her sophomore year, and how Evan decided to seriously consider investigating Christianity and found it to be true over all other worldviews. Right before their baptisms, some of their friends shared some heartfelt stories about how Layla and Evan have changed over th

Since Thanksgiving and Christmas are all about quality time with people, we went volunteering at a couple different elderly homes near Rutgers to spend some time with the elderly and share about God’s love with them! During Thanksgiving season, we shared with the residents about the Bible story in Luke 17, how Jesus healed 10 lepers and only returned to thank Jesus, reminding us of the importance of giving gratitude where it’s due. For Christmas, we sang some Christmas carol

After the service this past Sunday, we visited two elderly care homes around the area! We sang a hymn together, and then our very own Ron (senior) and Christy (sophomore) gave a message at each home on Jesus feeding the 5000. The conversations afterward were very encouraging as the residents were very warm and talkative! Many of us got to share the GOSPEL with the residents, and 3 decided to commit their lives to Christ that day! Praise the Lord! Looking forward to our next v
