College Ministry
You accepted an invitation to build your career at college, this is an invitation to:
Build Your Life with Jesus
We’re convinced Jesus transforms lives, cities, regions, and the world when these four priorities are taking place through individual and corporate practices:
Gospel | Starting a relationship with Jesus
Community | Belonging in a church community
Transformation | Build a life that lasts forever
Mission | Making a difference with others
The Gospel
Jesus loves you: right where you are, just as you are, and He loves you too much to leave you there! He has a plan for your life.
1. God Loves You: God loves you & offers a wonderful plan for your life. John 3:16
2. Sin Separates You: Sin - the actions, thoughts, and attitudes that dishonor and break God's heart - separates you from God and comes with a price. Romans 3:23
3. Jesus Saves You: Jesus died and rose again to pay for your sin and give you new life. Romans 5:8
4. Will you trust Him?: Will you receive Jesus as Savior & follow Him? John 1:12
Community
We were designed for community: to love and be loved by others, and live life in relationship with one another. There is deep value to being in community with your peers and across generations. Building relationships with others requires intentionality, commitment, and a bit of courage. Get into the rhythm of:
- Weekly Church Gatherings on Sundays at 10:30am in the Kellogg Center auditorium
- Weekly Monday evening Bible studies at 7:30pm in Brody
- Monthly gatherings with a local family in the Adopt-A-Student program
Transformation
Grow and change with Jesus over time as we place Him as the central element of our lives. As we follow Jesus, He forms us into people who look more like Him. Engage practices and disciplines that help you move further toward freedom, peace and walking in the authority Jesus has given us.
- Read one chapter of the Bible daily
- Learn to pray individually and corporately through 21 Days of Prayer
- Learn to understand the Bible and apply God’s truth to your life
Mission
As you are transformed to become more like Christ, use the unique gifts you’ve been given to make a difference in the lives of others. In doing so, you’ll make an eternal impact as you continue to grow in humility, service, and generosity:
- Serving on a team at Element Church
- Help with an outreach opportunity:
- Christmas Giving volunteering,
- join a team for MSU Night of Worship,
- Christian Student Union (CSU) middle school club volunteering,
- Fellowship of Christian (FCA) high school club volunteering,
- Conversational Evangelism Tables
