The percentage of Christian youth who leave the church after high school is over 50% and growing every year. Many college professors identify themselves as atheists and view evangelical Christian students unfavorably. The priority of faith in their life is now their own personal decision. And with greater freedom, more choices and less accountability, church often falls to the bottom of the stack.
A great Campus Ministry experience can keep students active in their faith and enable them to grow even stronger. Successful Campus Ministry programs provide opportunities to serve and form community, educate, and develop leadership skills. We want to help Christian students with their personal faith life and their college campus ministry programs.
