Collegiate.
In a growing post-Christian context where teens and 20s are leaving the church in record numbers we prioritize a Bold Proclamation of the Gospel on secular campuses. Impacting college students not only multiplies potential vocational Christian workers; it also brings Jesus into engineering firms, IT industries, hospitals, schools, and businesses. The world sends itβs best and brightest students to US campuses. When they come to faith in Christ, adopt solid Biblical principles, and learn leadership skills, they return as missionaries to nations and peoples otherwise never reached!
Church.
From beginning to end, scripture speaks of God's people, the Church: the Bible speaks of Jesus as the head (Colossians 1:18), believers as the body - uniquely gifted, building one another up (1 Corinthians 14), the Spirit as its life, and a promise that upon a foundation of faith in Jesus as King it will never die. (Matthew 16:16β18). Every year, we equip college men and women in Intensive Leadership Development with the expectation that following graduation they will be prepared to serve and lead wherever God takes them. As they graduate and saturate the world, they are prepared to impact their local communities through the vehicle of the church.
Network.
A multiplying movement of cooperative, interdependent, and autonomous churches Focused on Church Planting on college campuses. Collegiate Churches are already on over 20 US campuses, joined together and equipped for multiplication through: two annual National Conferences designed to strengthen and inspire church for campuses; Regional times of support & encouragement; Summer Leadership Training to expand the vision of college students; and Resource sharing that accelerates learning and development. We are bound together by decades of relationship, a common statement of faith, and a set of agreed upon ministry values and intentions.
