Cal State Long Beach AACF is known for their encouraging, loving, and Christ-centered community. As a fellowship, our focus is to bring the life-changing message of Jesus Christ onto the campus of Cal State Long Beach and into the greater city of Long Beach. It is our desire to see lives impacted for the Gospel and for students to understand their purpose as a disciple of Christ. Long Beach AACF's community is a demonstration of God's sacrificial love for one another. Through our unique community, students create life-long friendships, deepen their faith, and develop their leadership skills. AACF is a place where students discover how developing a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior makes a life-long impact on the decisions they make, allows them opportunities to serve their peers, and live out the Gospel through their everyday lives. Our hope is that students will continue to use their spiritual gifts to be witnesses of Christ in the local church, workplace, and to the world.
Our group meets weekly on Wednesdays evenings for worship, prayer, and Bible Study. In addition, small groups and prayer meetings are held throughout the week. Retreats and larger events are held throughout the year, for creating additional opportunities to develop an encouraging community. Our ultimate goal through these events are so that students can invite their peers and classmates to experience the love of Christ and bring the life-changing message of Jesus Christ to them.
AACF was established at Cal State Long Beach in 1977 and has been a constant presence on campus for the past 40 years.
We invite you to partner with us as we continue to bring the love of Christ onto our campus. We appreciate any type of support that is offered to CSULB AACF.
