Campus Life

The Meade Memorial Library at Christian Life College is a quiet and welcoming space for study, research, and reflection. It offers students access to a collection of theological books, academic resources, and ministry materials to support their education and spiritual growth.

Living in the Birkemeier Suites shapes your college experience in meaningful ways. Being fully immersed in a close-knit, Christ-centered community changes how you grow, connect, and live day-to-day. These on-campus apartments offer more than just a place to stay—they create space for lasting friendships, spiritual growth, and shared purpose.

Through Christian Life Church’s ministry, The Kids Pantry, students have the opportunity to serve by helping pack food boxes for families in need. As a thank-you, each participating student is welcome to pack a box for themselves as well. It's a simple but meaningful way to make a difference in the community while also receiving support.

Chapel is held weekly and is a central part of student life at Christian Life College. It's a time when students, faculty, and staff come together to worship, hear the Word, and be refreshed in God’s presence. These gatherings often feature guest speakers, student-led worship, and moments of prayer that help keep Christ at the center of campus life.

The Ascension Convention is Christian Life College’s annual youth event held during the three days leading up to Easter. Hosted at the Hyatt Regency O’Hare in Chicago, it gathers hundreds of students from junior high through college for a time of worship, teaching, and spiritual renewal. CLC students play a key role in organizing and leading the convention, gaining hands-on ministry experience in areas like worship, tech, hospitality, and administration. This event is a highlight of the year and a meaningful opportunity for students to serve and grow.

Christian Life College maintains a connection with Whitestone Counseling Resources for students seeking mental health support. Luke Merrill, a licensed therapist and member of our teaching staff, is available for conversation and guidance. While counseling services aren't provided directly through the college, students are encouraged to reach out to Luke or explore recommended options like Whitestone.
