Religious Colleges in California?

To all my Cali friends on here, could you mention some of the most religious colleges in California? Hoping to stick relatively close to home while still observing a strong faith-based community. Extra brownie points if it's Christian.

Absolutely, there are a number of religious, particularly Christian, institutions in California that you might consider. Here are a few:

1. Pepperdine University: This one is affiliated with the Churches of Christ, which is a Christian institution. It is located in Malibu and offers a picturesque ocean view plus high academic standards.

2. Point Loma Nazarene University: Located in San Diego, this Christian university is affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene. It is one of the smaller, more tight-knit Christian colleges in California.

3. Biola University: This is an evangelical Christian university located in La Mirada in Southern California. Biola is known for its theology, biblical studies, and liberal arts programs.

4. Westmont College: A non-denominational Christian college located in Santa Barbara. The institution is also known for integrating faith and learning.

5. Loyola Marymount University: This one is a Jesuit (Catholic) institution located in Los Angeles, with a good reputation for its performing arts and business programs.

6. Saint Mary’s College of California: A Catholic college located in Moraga. It is recognized as a College of Distinction for its strong focus on teaching undergraduates.

All these institutions integrate faith into their campus life and academic programs to varying degrees. Some require you to take a few religious studies or theology courses, some have religious services that students frequently attend, and many have opportunities for religious student groups and mission trips.
