Spiritual Life

In Psalms 34:8, the Word of the Lord calls us to “taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” And in John 10:10, Jesus proclaims, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”  The California Preparatory College faculty and staff seek to create a Christ-centered atmosphere, offering the pursuit of an intimate relationship with God and our fellow man here on earth through Bible studies, mission opportunities, vespers, and spiritual events that include reaching out in service to our student and community neighbors.

It is our sincerest desire to encourage and facilitate the spiritual growth of our students at CPC by providing a wide range of activities geared to engage and exercise their God-given physical, mental, and spiritual powers.  Such opportunities include but are not limited to involvement in local church worship services that range from simply attending, involvement in music and praise team memberships or leadership, to being a featured guest speaker!  CPC students can also choose to volunteer in community service projects, such as neighborhood cleanups, clothing give-away drives, toy collection and distribution drives, on campus church services, and more.

Christian speakers are invited to our campus each semester to conduct “week of prayer” assemblies to draw the hearts and minds of our students, faculty, and staff to a closer walk with our Creator.  In addition, in an effort to provide cohesive group support and camaraderie, organized weekly sessions are offered each Wednesday for a Bible-centered topic study of such subjects as relationships, self-esteem, and other areas pertinent to campus life today.

While here on earth, Christ bore witness to a life of service by assisting others in the communities He visited.  At CPC, we take His example seriously and trust that you will find a personally suited avenue of service supported by our capable CPC Student Council and dedicated staff.

Although we clearly base our spiritual lifestyle and understanding on the Seventh-Day Adventist traditions, students from any denominational background or belief system, who are concerned about living morally responsible and ethical lives, will find at CPC a positive, accepting, personal growth producing educational community and environment to help promote the harmonious development of the whole being for each and everyone of our students.

You can choose not to provide such information, but if you do so our staff may not be able to respond to your request.
