All of us who do or have done college ministry are always trying to continually understand the basics and in the midst of all that has to be done to break it down to those difference makers.
Here are 5 Difference Majors for College Ministry:
1. Develop and train leaders. Nothing expands the ministry or touches more different students for witness and connections than a strong group of core leaders who are invested.
2. Share a vision and draw students into it. Where is the ministry trying to go? Is it just a club on campus or is it a witness for Christ?
3. Work at making the ministry widely known on campus. The more the ministry is known, the more likely it is for students to considering connecting or to respond when invited. Remember, the number one reason students attend the first time is, "Someone invited me." Some do it with big deal Welcome Week events. Others advertise widely. Some do service projects on campus. How can you make your ministry more widely known on campus?
4. As a leader, be visible on campus. Walk across the campus and through the Student Center every day. It gives opportunity for connecting with administrators (who open and close doors), workers, students that your students will introduce you to in just being there. Plus, you will have a greater feel of the campus.
5. Cast a WIDE net. Do your best to reach into a wide variety of groups. When you reach a student in a different campus group, you have a greater possibility of reaching more students in that group.
It's that simple......and that hard!
