Welcome to CIESF!

Cleveland International Evangelical Students Fellowship (CIESF) is a student ministry founded on Christian faith and love as taught in the Bible. International university students often struggle with homesickness, facing tough challenges as they leave behind family, friends, and their home culture to pursue academic opportunities.

Hence, we meet with international students on campuses, invite them to our fellowship meetings, get to know them, and share our love, meeting their needs in various ways. Consequently, the Cleveland International Evangelical Student Fellowship is stepping up to provide assistance, counselling to excel in academics and career guidance during this transition process. CIESF is dedicated to nurturing students as disciples of Jesus Christ who authentically
engage in all facets of campus life, fostering discussions, and debates that will shape the decisions of tomorrow’s leaders.

Beginnings:
Since 2018, Indian Christian families in North Royalton, Ohio have been gathering for home bible study fellowship. These families have been praying for opportunities to connect with international students in Cleveland and invite them to join in Bible studies and fellowship gatherings.
