ABOUT CSF
WHAT IS CSF?
CSF is a non-denominational campus ministry at the University of Kentucky. CSF isn’t a place. CSF isn’t a program. CSF is everywhere on campus—although we do have a building where we sometimes hang out. It’s a million different places and a million different people. It’s downtown serving the homeless. Climbing at the Johnson Center. A conversation about Jesus ’til 2am. It’s wherever people are interacting with each other and with God.
CSF is mainly staffed by recent UK grads who take the first year or two post-graduation to give back to the UK community by working full time at CSF. A few long-term staff help guide and invest into these younger staff members who in turn pour into our student leaders as they reach out to campus with the good news and good life of Jesus.
