In recent years,Christianity has developed rapidly in the city. Especially in the college, part of the college students, who have access to higher education and are equipped with professional knowledge have contact the Christianity. It is a phenomenon worthy of studying. According to the surveys, the proportion of some college students believers is between 3.6% and 3.9%. Although the proportion is not big, the absolute number is still so many.In this, the aim of this paper is to study the communication of Christianity in the five different colleges in H city. The author tries to investigate the believe condition of the college student Christians, and explore how the college students profess the religion based on the elementary forms of religions life and the choice of believe in the real situation. The author studies that the college Christians believe in Christianity because it gives more meaning to their life. Among of them think the religious belief as spiritual sustenance. For the above demands, they prefer to achieve self-realization and find the community. The college students take an active participate in the group activities about Christianity, what’s more, they invite their friends to join them voluntarily. The believers think themselves as a kind of media, so the relational communication is the mainstream mode of communication. Specifically, it take the church as the carrier, and is divided in different fellowships and groups. No matter what the group includes 3 to 5 people and the Sunday worship includes thousands of people, the ceremony of Christianity gather the believers to the church closely.This paper studied what we called ’belief community’ by observing the fellowship, communication activities and ritual activities of Christians. The conclusion shows that the meaning of believing can be reflected by expression of Christianity’ religious doctrines and Christian’s practices, which has impact to whoever personally participated to the activities. Moreover, the traditional Sunday activities remodel Christian’s identity recognition and build Christians cognitive frame for those believers. As a result, the fellowship is also enhanced through conducting such activities. Several interview case studies are made in this paper to demonstrate how graduate students made their conversion to Christianity. It finds out that many of them has experienced pressure caused by competition, hard time in dealing with interpersonal relationship or confusion by entering universities. In addition, many college students seek spiritual reliability because of a sense of loss which is rarely paid attention by our society. Some other Christians choose to convert for the purpose of multicultural persuasion.Overall, the fellowship in college is not as public as other student associations, but more like a kind of hidden alternative existence in the campus because of the particular environment in universities. The college student fellowship has special organizational forms and travel paths, but it plays a limited role at the college. In the social system which possesses numerous and jumbled and open relatively, the students have the strong capacity for getting information. In addition, the role of the dual-opposition thinking mode of science and religion decreased somewhat, therefore, they have more opportunities to pursue and choose the multi-culture. Based on the objective environment, the author explore the situation on the life and psychology of the college students. And the author continues to analyze the reason why they choose the Christian faith that the Christianity provides the values to them, on the other hand, the college student fellowships can provide the material support and meet the actual demands in social interactions. We can find the paths and methods that the Christianity faith concern the students, and they could be used as reference.
