Wise Sayings and Truisms in College Ministry

We don't know who said them the first time and everyone does not necessarily believe they are one hundred  percent true all the time.....HOWEVER, you can learn a lot from them.

"To reach a particular campus group, reach a student in that group."

"It takes three years to establish a college ministry or for an existing ministry to become yours."

"Who we reach determines who we CAN and CANNOT reach."

"What you do the first three weeks of the fall semester determines your ministry for the whole school year."

"Good falls are made in the summer."

"A meeting space will fill to only 80% capacity on a regular basis.  To continue to grow, seating space has to continue to grow and too much empty space is discouraging.  Arrange your seating to accommodate your expected number plus an additional 20%."

"Once a student has been inside your facility, they are more likely to come back."

"A college ministry will reflect the strengths and weaknesses of the leader."

"The unforgivable sin in college ministry is not getting a student's name and contact info the first time they attend one of your events."
