Cody and Brittany Bryan were involved in Christian Challenge at Chico State as undergrads for 4 years. Upon graduating from Chico State in 2013 they both went on full-time staff with Challenge and served there for 8 years. During this time they developed a growing burden to plant a new ministry on a campus where there are few people sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. In the summer of 2021 they moved with their 3 children to Santa Cruz to plant Challenge at UCSC!
