Isabella Berna

Isabella Berna will reach out to students in Fresno, California during the 2025-26 academic year through her role as a CCO Ministry Apprentice.

Bella graduated from Malone University in May 2025 with a BA in Pastoral Ministry and a minor in Sociology.

“During my own college years, I experienced a growing discontent in my faith—not from a lack of belief, but from feeling caught in the in-between—no longer a kid, not quite an adult,” says Bella. “It’s a strange and sacred season where so many students wrestle with who they are, what they believe, and where they’re going. I’m passionate about campus ministry, because I’ve lived the confusion, the fear, and the wonder of this stage of life, and I’ve seen how deeply Jesus meets us there. I want to help students discover that same hope and walk with them as they grow in courage, identity, and faith.”
