Club Constitution

Article I: Name
The name of the organization shall be Christian Student Fellowship.

Article II: Mission
The Mission of Christian Student Fellowship is to create a culture of peace on the campus of Colorado Mesa University Campus by assisting CSF students to reflect on all they have learned and experienced in light of the teachings of Jesus Christ and how they can become Christian leaders not only on the CMU campus, but in the community at large.

Article III: Membership
Any student of Colorado Mesa University that is interested in understanding how the Christian Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ could lead them into understanding who God has created them to be is welcome to participate in the club.

Section B: Club Meetings
Christian Student Fellowship shall hold regular meetings on Sunday afternoons.  Other social events, planning meetings, and coaching sessions will occur during the week as decided by the group and individual needs.

Regular club meetings will focus on a Bible study and reflection of how our faith corresponds to what we learn and experience on campus, in the classroom, and in the community.

Changes and cancellations in club meetings will be decided by club members and communicated to the club members as quickly as possible.
