Compassionate Action Initiatives “We do not think ourselves into a new way of living, but we live ourselves into a new way of thinking" - Richard Rohr
register for more information about our initiatives below
Faith & Feminism
Women of Valor:
This group will engage in meditative spiritual practices as well as discussion on feminist related topics, including critique of patriarchal systems that exist within the church and actions and ideas from past Christian feminist leaders and theologians. Come ready to connect with God and be strengthened by the creativity and encouragement of powerful women.
Faith & Men
Nice Guys…Good Food: Navigating masculine culture through the scope of different ethnic backgrounds.
We see a lack of male mentorship & support groups in our communities which leads young men to the assumption that they have to navigate identity & purpose on their own. Processing being a man alone, can lead us to a life of pride, power, & hurt. We believe that by providing a place for men to be vulnerable & transparent does not lead to weakness but strength that ultimately turns into maturity, freedom & healing.
Join the Nice Guys…& let it marinate
Faith & Environmentalism
Interfaith Oceans:
Protect our ocean systems & species, people & cultures, through faith & science working together. Come learn how religion can join with science to appreciate the gifts of the ocean while working together to protect & restore them. We partner with other faith groups at SDSU. Let us know if you are interested and we will contact you about all the exciting things we have planned.
Faith & Homeless Care
This group meets weekly to discuss the life & teachings of Jesus that so clearly reflect the care & concern for the marginalized, the poor and the hungry in our community. Once a month, we serve the homeless community in San Diego by passing out pre packaged food, socks & personal care items.
Don’t wait, join us today & give your time to serve those who truly need your help.
Global Friends:
Are you an international student looking to make more friends? Are you an American student looking to make friends from other countries?
In this group Friends Without Borders, we seek to build bridges between nationalities and cultures. We do biweekly outdoor activities socially distant that will facilitate friendship building between students of all nations.
We also provide buddies for international students to help with errands around the city such as grocery shopping. If you are interested in joining our international friendship group, looking for help running errands or would like to become an errand buddy sign up with us!
Faith and Grossmont College Students
This group meets weekly to discuss matters of Faith and Compassionate Action on our Campus. We volunteer Weekly at Gizmos Kitchen, a ‘grab and go’ student food pantry that supports low income students by providing pre-packaged food items and toiletries. We also are involved with the Mental Health initiatives that Grossmont offers throughout the year. and meet weekly for mental health check ins & support. If you are a Grossmont student we want to meet you!
Podcast Discussion Group
Made with love, faith and hope
We are passionate about bridging the gap on conversations about faith and justice. Join us each week to discuss assigned podcasts exploring topics like the LGBTQ community and the church, the racial divide in America, patriarchy and women’s rights, environmentalism and much more. We believe by raising awareness and providing a safe place to discuss these topics that are facing the church today we can make way for a more compassionate church tomorrow.
Compassion Garden Project
Whether you have a green thumb but lack space to let your talent bloom or you have never gardened a day in your life but like to eat fresh food we need you! We are starting a community garden with the hopes of feeding hungry college students fresh fruits & vegetables, & have a fun time doing it. Come connect with God, creation & each other as we dig in the earth together.
Lake Murray Walk & Prayer
Get off Zoom & join us for a walk around the lake. Walking groups are built around your schedule. We have morning & evening groups so we will find a time that fits you. Each week we will engage in an intentional meditative prayer practice as we walk. Come expecting to meet new friends and connect with God in the fresh air. Sign up today.
