CARP Las Vegas Sends a Message: Sexual Integrity is the Answer

On Saturday, November 2nd, over 170 attendees gathered to take a stand for a life of sexual integrity at CARP Las Vegas’s 5th Campus Talk: You Are Worth More at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) Student Union Ballroom.

Although this Campus Talk was about standing firmly for sexual integrity, the spirit of the conference was very inviting and friendly, regardless if participants completely resonated with the perspectives being offered. That being said, in a collegiate environment where it is difficult to stand up for certain values, Campus Talk was a great place to gain conviction and stand together.

CARP Bay Area hosts Mid-semester UP Retreat

On October 31st to November 3rd, CARP Bay Area spent our Halloween weekend at our well-anticipated three day Unification Principle (UP) Retreat out at Oakhorse Ranch in Valley Springs. The retreat was co-hosted by Family Federation for a Heavenly USA and CARP with the theme “Discover Your True Value.” This retreat gave us, as students, the opportunity to step back from school and our regular day-to-day activities to focus on nurturing our hearts and discovering our life’s true value and purpose. 

“I’m truly satisfied that I made the right decision to be here and to be a part of CARP. Because after every presentation, I can think more positively, feel peace inside and love from the people around me.” - Olivia
