WELCOME, COLLEGE STUDENTS!
We're so glad you're here!
Christ Community is a church deeply committed to the students of the University of Arkansas. We desire to be a place where students connect with each other and grow in the grace of the gospel. We believe that all Christians, including those in college, are nourished by meaningful involvement in the local church.
In addition to a college student's involvement with the local church, connection with a gospel-centered campus ministry provides a unique and powerful spiritual benefit. It’s our privilege to partner with these campus ministries as we work together to welcome and disciple our college students.

RUF has a unique connection to Christ Community, due to the fact that RUF is the national campus ministry of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). Read more about CCC's connection to the PCA here.
