It was announced at the "Christians on Campus" dinner that there will be a weekend long conference entitled "The Heavenly Vision and the Divine Commission" between April 17-19.The conference is an opportunity to meet other Christians on Campus (C.O.C.) members from universities in Southern California, as well as to dig in the word of God and grow spiritually.
Carol Ross, one of the leaders of C.O.C. in Long Beach said in an e-mail interview that the club was established at CSULB in 1978, 10 years after its establishment at UCLA. Its founders had in mind the purpose of "leading students to Christ and helping them grow in Him."
C.O.C. is made up of undergrad and graduate students who share the same beliefs of the Trinity and desire to fellowship with one another. Approximately 30 students are active participating members and contribute to potluck dinners that take place before the official Bible study every Thursday night.
The club is funded by its staff members, CSULB alumni donors and anyone willing to help others with expenses such as the up coming retreat.
The Heavenly Vision and the Divine Commission conference is priced at $65, which includes food, study, and fellowship and will be held at a conference center in Anaheim. Address coming soon.
