When I was asked one time to tell everything I knew about college ministry in one sentence, I said, "Be you on the campus where you are." It is as simple and as complicated as that. The five building blocks are all about utilizing the gifts that God has placed in your life in the unique setting that each campus offers.
Every College Minister is different and every college campus is different. Every campus is a little different every year and the students in the ministry will be a little different every year.
Be a student of your campus and believe that God has created you uniquely and wants to use you in the way He created you. But, don't let that be an excuse that keeps you from doing some things that need doing, but just are not your thing. That is part of why it is called, "a job.".
These 5 Building Blocks are all about YOU and YOUR Campus:
1. Who YOU are Personally. Proverbs 10:9
2. Having a Strategy That is INTENTIONAL and fits. Proverbs 21:5
3. DEVELOPING and Utilizing Student Leaders. Psalm 78:72
4. Making the MOST of your Resources. Luke 14:28
5. Making CONNECTIONS that Build the Ministry. Philippians 2:3
