Orchard Church Partnership
Our college ministry has a great relationship and partnership with another church in Chico called Orchard church. This church has a heart for Jesus and serving the Chico community in tangible ways. Students have built relationships in their recovery ministry that supports and houses individuals who are recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. We also have partnered in their youth ministry that reaches out to kids in the Chapmantown area. If you are interested in finding out more about getting involved with this partnership contact Jim Culp at jim@orchardchurch.com.

Jesus Center Breakfasts - first Sunday of each month
An opportunity to BE the church. All the campus ministries of Chico State come together on a Sunday morning, every other month, to make breakfast, eat together and worship God with the homeless and hungry of Chico at the Jesus Center (local homeless shelter and food bank). This is a time to serve, build relationships and connect with our family in Christ. To find out more, contact breakfast coordinator: Ashleigh Ellis (ashleigh.brenna@gmail.com)
