Join Us for the 2025 CCCA Lent Project

Biola's Center for Christianity, Culture, and the Arts offers a FREE online Lent Project designed to aid you in pausing each day to reflect on the meaning of the season. The sacrificial season of Lent is a time for us to purposefully go deeper with Christ through reflection, action, and renewal. It’s a time to realign our spirits and strengthen our dependence upon God. It’s a period of genuine repentance, of concentrated reconciliation with others, of fasting from all that distracts us, and recommitting our lives to Christ in love and service. The 2025 Lent Project starts on Ash Wednesday, March 5th and runs through Bright Week, Saturday, April 26th. Each day of the Lent Project features a Scripture passage, a devotional written by a member of the Biola community, a work of fine art, a poem, and a piece of music.
