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).

New here? Your honest questions, answered.
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. And then once you join, they’re so controlling that they take up all your time! A: Okay, guilty as charged on the snacks. We do hand out fr

Pass the Gratitude, Please
In the season of Thanksgiving, whether big or small, our students wanted to express what they're grateful for in 2026. Angeline (Senior, Cognitive Science major): I’m so thankful for the opportunity I had to serve on the Scarlet to White Leadership Team this summer. It was such a blessing to labor alongside other Christians on campus and witness how God used the retreat to encourage incoming Rutgers freshmen to pursue their faith in community during college!

Three Baptisms, One Church Family
On Sunday 11/1/26, we celebrated three of our junior girls getting baptized! Discover their stories of who Jesus is to them and why they're going public with their faith. Meet Gianna, Angelina, and Grace :) So, what's baptism? Great question, glad you asked! Let's start with what it's NOT. It's not something you do to get "saved." It's not literally washing people clean of their sins. It's not even just for a select few who are "extra spiritual." Christians believe that the d

The craziest retreat that ever happened in Phillipsburg, NJ
Fall Retreat was a blast this weekend! We joined up with Story College Church in Philly, and on Friday night, we swapped stories from our high school days. Saturday was a beautiful day, with people biking along the Delaware river, trying archery, and playing basketball. And of course, we can’t forget the epic Barn Battles! So many crazy fun games — ask anyone who went about that Gaga Ball ending!! Our two sessions were on Luke 15: Parable of the Prodigal Son and Luke 9: Jesus

Can You Be a Science Person and Still Believe in God?
By Dr. Xunkai Chen, PhD in Chemical Engineering and Materials Science Engineering, Research Scientist, and Campus Light mentor "Doesn't science disprove faith?" "I'm a science person, so I can't be religious." "How can you prove God scientifically?" The list goes on and on. These are the types of questions I constantly run into while engaging students on the college campus, and have for the past 5+ years. I totally understand where these questions come from, because I had the

Is This Really It? What I Wish I Knew Freshman Year
From work hard, play hard, to the question that changed everything. By Ethan Lim, Rutgers PharmD '24 Coming into college, I knew I had to do well. 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

How to Thrive in College (as a Christian)
Student Leaders @ Campus Light College is an exciting time of independence and learning a lot of new things. Whether that's doing laundry for the first time or struggling through higher level math courses, there's always something new to learn through the college experience. But the journey isn't always easy, and as a Christian on the college campus, this can be especially true.

Bagels, Bible Study, & Navy ROTC Buddies
Acts2 Network's Winter Conference 2026 | Elgin, IL At the beginning of the spring semester, I was riding a spiritual high from the Acts2 Winter Conference. It was my last semester of college and I wanted to put myself in a situation where God could work through me. For me, that meant trying to reach out to the people that I am already in touch with, and in my case those people were the people in my Navy ROTC unit. So at the beginning of my very last semester, I email blasted

Summer Wrapped 2026
Went home for the summer? Here's what we've been up to this summer! Training & Serving We've spent Friday nights getting sharper on praise, tech, and design so we're ready to go in the fall. Many who never tried guitar or videography all picked up new skills to get ready to serve! We've also gone to the elderly care homes to keep up our relationship with the elderly we've been visiting and continue to love them with actions and God's word. One resident received Christ last mo

Spring Break Mission Trip to Dominican Republic
This spring break, a handful of us at Campus Light had the privilege to travel to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic for a mission trip.

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
