Get Involved!

Crown offers multiple opportunities to get involved with on-campus activities and clubs. All students enrolled, whether full-time or part-time, are members of the Crown College Student Association (CCSA).  The CCSA is organized to minister to the spiritual, physical, intellectual, and social needs of the student body, and to encourage standards of personal excellence as well as providing students with involvement in decision-making, programming, and outside-of-the classroom education.

Organizations

Organizations are chartered and funded by the CCSA Senate to organize the activities intended to fulfill the objectives of the of the CCSA.  Standing organizations have direct representation on the Senate, and are overseen by a faculty or staff advisor.

C.O.R.E.

Community Outreach and Evangelism (C.O.R.E.) exists to serve others and show the love of Christ in action. The purpose of C.O.R.E. is to love, serve, and reach out to those outside of the Crown community. Actions often speak louder than words, and C.O.R.E. seeks to use the hands, feet, and hearts of believers to impact the lost and needy in the surrounding areas. All members of C.O.R.E. are a vital part of the whole as each is gifted uniquely and can serve in varying capacities. Ultimately, C.O.R.E. seeks to use service projects and operations to create opportunities to share the Gospel. C.O.R.E. is overseen by a faculty/staff advisor, led by an executive council and team leaders, and joined by willing students who want to show the love of Christ in deed. Students who join are given six areas of service to choose from: ill, elderly, imprisoned, generally needy, homeless, and children. These six teams make up the body of C.O.R.E. and regularly serve in these areas either weekly or bi-weekly in various locations. Believers are called to reach out and to serve, and C.O.R.E. exists in obedience to the Lord’s commands and with faith that God will work through those with willing hearts.

The Global Impact Team (GIT) represents all students in its missionary emphasis on campus and has the responsibility of planning missionary chapel services and overseeing the Mission Support Team meeting.  These teams encourage prayer for specific mission fields and present the worldwide work of the Christian & Missionary Alliance and various other mission boards.
