WHY the University ?
WHY Reach Students?
Our lives were transformed by the power of God in college. We were marked by seeing the sick get healed, the broken hearted comforted and the lost given purpose. Our hearts burn for those that have yet to hear or encounter and authentic witness of the Gospel.
There is a war for the minds of this generation, we aim to share truth in the midst of confusion. We believe this is the most strategic mission field in the world.
The Lost
To connect with individuals who would not otherwise encounter a biblical message of Jesus Christ. A high percentage of those deciding to follow Jesus on campus have had no previous exposure to the gospel of Jesus or a Christian church.
Future Leaders
To impact our world’s most influential institution, the college and university campus. The social, scientific, and spiritual theories of today’s campuses will become the accepted norm for tomorrow’s grade schools, businesses and television programs. As a nation’s campuses go, so goes the future of the nation.
International Students
To reach international students studying in the United States. Historically, we see an increase in the blessing of God when we focus on reaching the peoples of the world. International students speak English, want to make American friends, and want to learn about our culture and our religion. Our Hearts desire is to welcome them with open arms and share the transformative power fo the Gospel.
Belivers
To protect the Church's investment in our youth. While attending a Bible or Christian college is a great choice for many students, a significant number of Christian youth will attend secular colleges or universities. The Church invests a considerable amount of time, money, and prayer in its youth, and it is crucial to safeguard and empower that investment during the critical transitions from home to campus and from campus to the marketplace.
