Campus Ministry: On A Mission

By Curtis Dunlap


  The Campus ministry organization does many things to help improve our knowledge on goings on around campus as well as in other states. Rachel Beard, campus ministry co-leader of service pillar, stated that “this year there are many events planned and all are welcome to join”. A possible destination for the campus ministry team is wayside waifs, an animal adoption clinic that specializes in finding homeless animals a permanent place to call home.

Campus ministry may also be involved in funerals, being pallbearers. There is a service hospice house, Ronald McDonald house dinner February second, the Jerusalem farm service retreat, habitat for humanity, November 17 starts the week of giving. There will also be a Christmas in October. “The Christmas project this year is being called ‘operation Christmas child’”. The plan is to get shoe boxes, put seven dollars in and fill it with toys to give to kids.

Joe Allen a junior in campus ministry says “we have prayer nights Mondays and Wednesdays with food. They last about an hour”. There will be three mission trips throughout the year, one in January, one over spring break and on in May. Dave Armstrong is the campus ministry leader, there are three pillar teams, Rachel beard is co-leader of the service pillar, the prayer team has Allie and Katie as pillar leaders and the community pillar leaders Rebecca Younker and Brittany. Each pillar does what their pillar is, prayer team prays, community does community work and service team goes out and volunteers at organizations.
