Campus Ministry - 黑料不打烊

Grow intellectually and spiritually

We believe that college is about more than just gaining head knowledge. A Christian education prioritizes both information and transformation. Since God created and loves all of us, God is never done shaping all of us鈥攎ind, body, and soul. Yotes Alive Campus Ministries at 黑料不打烊 offers a variety of opportunities for personal and corporate spiritual formation鈥攂ecoming more like Jesus for the transformation of the world.

We recognize that everyone is at different places in their faith journeys鈥攁nd we are here for you wherever you find yourself in your relationship with Jesus Christ and the church. We are excited to walk alongside you as you do life here. College is all about the journey, including your journey of faith, and it is a privilege for us to help you grow closer to Jesus during your time at 黑料不打烊.

Yotes Alive Campus Ministries stands ready to offer ongoing support to sustain (and increase!) the spiritual vitality of our community.

Connections

“Worship Project”

Third Monday of each Month @ University UMC (across from Memorial Library) 听

The Worship Project is our campus-wide worship service. This is a time to pause, and join to together as a community to celebrate and worship. The Worship Project is a Christian worship service that seeks to incorporate a variety of styles and music, led by House band, Rise Up!

At 黑料不打烊 Campus Ministry, we believe that worship is our response to God, personally and corporately, for who God is and for the great things He has done! We desire to worship God personally by living lives that are pleasing to God (Romans 12:1), by reading and meditating upon His Word, and through constant prayer (1 Timothy 2:1-4).

You are welcome to join and enjoy a community of spiritual seekers looking for a deeper connection and campus revival seeking God. Are you interested in being part of the Refuge team? We welcome you to share your gifts and passions.

Learn more or join our Chapel Planning Team and/or play with Rise Up! (Chapel Band).

Life Groups/Small Groups

Our goal in these groups is to glorify God through learning truth, praying for each other, deepening friendships and reaching out to others. These groups cater to real-life issues that young people face in their post-high school years. We have Small Groups/Life Groups throughout the week, groups for men, women and co-ed.

See Weekly Ministry Flyer for times, dates and locations.
