Who is Christian Challenge?

The Great and Illustrious History of Christian Challenge at MSC –
Christian Challenge was started here about 60 years ago, in the early fifties. It flipped through the hands of various directors over time until 1980 rolled around, and a young man by the name of Darrin Crow took up the challenge given to him by his director, Chip. Darrin has been leading Christian Challenge ever since (except for a short sabbatical once), teaching students about how God loves them and how He wants them to be a part in changing the world.
ChallengeMSC (aka Christian Challenge) exists to lead students to a deeper understanding of Christ through our five passions – Worship, Teaching, Leadership, Prayer and Evangelism. These are the basis of everything we do at ChallengeMSC. It is our goal to bring students to a level of spiritual maturity by the time that they finish school that they will have a strong grasp on their faith as they leave the relative security of the college campus and face the "real world." They will know the why’s and how’s behind being strong in their beliefs in a world full of doubt and hostility against what they believe.
We have a bunch of weekly events that help us to reach this goal; everything from some awesome Men’s and Women’s groups and free food to both large and small groups and one-on-one discipleship. We do have four full-timeish ministers on campus – the man, the myth, the legend Darrin Crow, the sports guru and general helper-outer guy Zach King, our resident geeky computery come-up-with-amazing-ideas guy Kevin Young, and our new addition, the amazing and talented Vicki Tucker, who is heading up our women’s ministry.
So feel free to check back here occaisionaly, and see what is going on with ChallengeMSC. On the top of the page there are links to info about all the directors (except Vicki… but we’re working on it) as well as to our calendar and contact information. Remember that God is God, and you are not. His will wins in every situation. The sooner you learn that, the easier that college will be.
