In preparation for the launch of this brand-new graduate & faculty ministry on a campus of 1600 graduate-level students and hundreds of faculty, we are gently crafting a vision and ministry that will transform students and faculty, renew and redeem the campus, and develop world-changers in Christ’s name. The vision is shaped by four essential commitments to Spiritual Formation, Community, Evangelism & Service, and Integration of faith, learning, and practice. And so, we are listening to God’s direction, watching for open doors, hearing current students and faculty dream, and planning prayerfully to offer a preview:
Prayer Lunch as a santuary for fellowship and care; Blessing faculty with encouragement and books; Discipleship Group to go deeper into God’s Word; Collaborations engaging faith & academy forums
♦ Graduate Student Ministry
Coffee Club for conversation & mentoring; Graduate Cohort exploring monthly topics of Faith and… Life, Academics, Vocation, and Global Engagement; Discipleship Groups to go deeper into God’s Word and prayer; and Collaborations with campus ministries for missions and faith & academy forums
What about this vision and plan for ministry intrigues you or what ideas do they spark for participation or for new ministries?
