1. Purpose
GOOD SHEPHERD FELLOWSHIP CHURCH (GSF), at CSUN, is a mainline evangelical church and dedicated to the task of student evangelism. Our main work is helping students to study the Bible and live according to its teachings.
2. Bible Study
In this collective society, one person can be easily ignored. But when we learn through Bible study how God helped one person, Abraham, for 25 years, and how Jesus our Lord helped the Twelve disciples one by one, we are greatly inspired to study the Bible with each student on a one-to-one basis.
This kind of Bible study is costly because it involves investment of one's personal time, love, and care. But we believe the Bible teaches that one soul is of greater value than the whole universe.
In one-to-one Bible study, we usually begin with the book of Genesis or the Gospel of John, in order to first learn the basis of Christianity.
3. Discipleship Training
As Jesus raised disciples from the outset of his ministry, we also pray that God may raise many disciples of Jesus Christ through our prayers and labor of love. For this purpose, we hold regular retreats and conferences as well as special one-week Bible school.
We know that no one can change anyone else. So we try to help each student to study the Bible, that through Bible study he or she may come to know God personally, and also come to know himself or herself, and find the clear purpose and meaning of life in our Lord Jesus Christ. In doing this, we can only depend on the work of the Holy Spirit
