Caltech Christian Fellowship: Church List

description:

All Saints Church works to embody God's unlimited and inclusive love that embraces, liberates and empowers people, whoever they are and wherever they find themselves on the journey of faith. And to live out Christ's vision of unlimited love that empowers new life, not only for children, youth and adults within our membership, but with other neighbors, especially those who suffer from violence, injustice and bigotry.

All Saints Church has a wonderful student group known as Student Indaba, and all college and grad students are welcome at our many and varied events. Student Indaba's many activities: discussions on faith, life, ethics, politics and spirituality; social gatherings, coffee evenings, outdoor outings, and more.
