What is CSF?

Christian Student Fellowship is a non-denominational college ministry on the University of Kentucky campus. For more than 60 years CSF has been living out and spelling out the gospel for college students across central Kentucky and creating a space for them to call home. CSF hosts huge outreach parties, tons of small group bible studies, worship services, thousands and thousands of free meals, and so much more. 

And that's not all. CSF stands on the brink of a new era for our ministry. Years ago we outgrew our ministry building, to the point where our facility was so packed, students literally couldn't fit in the doors during our weekly worship services. This spring we hope to launch an all new ministry facility, one better equipped to welcome in the hundreds of students who call CSF home. Worship space, small group rooms, a large kitchen and even a basketball court—this new building will create brand new avenues for outreach and community on UK's campus.
