Could YOU Do College Ministry on Line?

Princeton University just announced that their students were NOT to come back to campus from Spring Break due to the Coronavirus outbreak.  If your campus were to make this announcement, are you done for this school year?

Or, are there things you would and could do on line?

Would it be possible to do a Bible study group using Zoom or GlobalMeet or some such tech option to discuss, teach and see everybody?

Could you have your worship event without an audience and live stream it or do it on Facebook Live?  Would you have a band or just you or a guest speaker speaking?

What about a Discussion Page where you would post something and have it up for discussion and comments over the next few days?

Could you send out a Bible study and then have a foloow-up session on line to discuss the material?

Could you have small group Bible studies that met in different cities with leaders you have recruited and send them the material and each week you do a planning training session with the leaders prior to that week's material?

Many of you are MUCH MORE tech savvy than I am.  What are options?  Please comment on the Blog or send them to me individually.  One possible outcome to this even if we do not need for this health crisis is some thoughts for having a ministry with those students who go to college totally on line.  Last year 5.4 million students took at least one class on line.  Some took only one class but others are doing college from their bedroom.

Ok; think about it.  What would you do if your college campus were to send everyone home?

  1. Tuning in for more ideas! UF just recommended all professors to go from live classes to only online content for the foreseeable future. Not sure what that means for the Navs just yet!
