]Dear CSU Parents, My name is Jim Rinella and I am on staff with The Navigators at CSU. We are a Christian ministry on campus. You might have questions about your son or daughter checking out The Navigators. The Navigators offer student led Bible Studies. We have a large group meeting right on campus every Friday evening. Once a semester we join with other campuses and go to a conference usually at the YMCA camp in Estes Park. Our students love our annual spring break trip to go somewhere and serve others in need like the people that were hit by the hurricane and floods in Texas. One of the main things I want you to know as parents is that you are welcome to come to any Navigator activity. We often have parents attend our Nav Night large group meeting on Fridays. My wife Linda and I would be glad to meet you. We usually host one or two desserts just for parents each year. I also want you to know that we value your child’s attendance at a local church. We bring in pastors from churches in Fort Collins to speak at our meetings to help students in their search for a church home while away at college. I hope The Navigators at CSU will be a place where your son or daughter finds Christian community and the opportunity to grow in their faith. Let us know if we can answer any questions you might have.
