our vision

[for the network]

Helping churches build a
self-sustaining, multiplying college ministry in their city

We are a collection of college ministries, each operating under the authority of a local church, that are like-minded in theology, philosophy, and ministry practice. We believe that God is changing the world through the church and that the church has a highly strategic opportunity to impact their local community through the college campus.

We help churches build local college ministries by:

  • We equip churches with the necessary skills and tools to do “on the ground” college ministry.

  • We train church staff how to raise financial support to cover salaries and all ministry costs.

  • We share resources such as bible studies, discipleship material, transferable concepts, etc.

  • We unite together for retreats, conferences, discipleship projects, and staff development.

  • We provide continual support, advice, and counsel for your college ministry for years to come.

[for the campus]

BUILDING LABORERS ON THE CAMPUS TO SEE A MOVEMENT OF GOD THAT CHANGES THE WORLD

  • Jesus Christ said in Matthew 9:37, “The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few.” The greatest problem in our world today is the harvest of billions of people that do not know Jesus Christ savingly. Our greatest solution to that problem is building more laborers who will go into that harvest to tell the world the good news of how they can be saved. Our desire is to work with colleges, universities, churches, families, and individuals to produce these laborers for which there is such a desperate need.

  • Campus Movement believes that the college campus is in one of the most strategic fields of ministry available in the world for multiple reasons:

    Student Availability - Students have more time available in their college years than virtually any other time in their lives. We desire to use this time to build relationships with students, share the gospel with them, and raise them up as laborers.

    Worldview Development - The campus is a place where students develop their beliefs and perspectives about God, people, self, and the world. This means exposure to the good news of Jesus is vital in these formative years.

    Birthplace for Leaders - The college campus exports graduates who will become the world’s next generation of leaders. Leaders who have been changed by Jesus Christ can then make a difference for Christ in the world wherever they go.

  • We believe that all of creation was created by God and for God. Revelation 4:11 says, “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” We believe God is raising up a movement of college students that are zealous for the praise and worship of His name, and we desire to be a part of that.

  • The goal of Campus Movement is to change the world for Christ through obedience to the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). Campus Movement wants to be a part of bringing the gospel to every people, tribe, tongue, and nation (Matthew 24, Mark 13, Revelation 7).  It is our aim that spiritual leaders would be exported from the campus to have a gospel-centered impact on those around them as they live the rest of their lives in the church, in the workplace, in families, in missions, and all areas of life.

our values

  • 2 Timothy 3:16 - “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness…”

    We believe that God’s Word is infallible and sufficient for all things. We seek to know, obey, and live out His Word as we look to it for our source of truth and guidance.

  • 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 - “For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Him who for their sake died and was raised.”

    We believe that Christ’s love is the compelling motivation of our lives and believe that His love leads us to follow Him and no longer live for self.

  • Ephesians 3:20 - “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us”

    We are reliant on God for all things and are dependent on His power to work among us and through us. We know that through prayer God can accomplish a work beyond what we can ask or imagine.

  • Matthew 9:36-38 - “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.”

    Because the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few, we seek to labor among the lost to see new believers raised up to follow Christ.

  • 2 Timothy 2:2 - “and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”

    As we establish and equip a new generation of believers, we desire to see a multiplying movement of God spread from person to person, campus to campus, and nation to nation.

  • Ephesians 1:22 - “And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church”

    The local church is Christ’s body on earth. We are committed to being a part of the local church in order to worship and serve Him. We submit ourselves to the leadership of the church and seek to be held accountable by it.

  • Mark 10:43-45 - “But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

    We value the development of leaders who, by the power of the Spirit, seek to lay down their lives for the benefit of others just as Jesus did.

Our Ministry Strategy: the 4 e’s

  • Our main objective as college ministers is to share the gospel with the lost world! The Campus Movement Network exists to train staff willing to go to the campus, make connections with lost students, and share the gospel with them in hopes of leading them to Christ. The first step building a ministry is to “catch men” (Matt 4:19) like Jesus did. For a lot of churches, this can be the most intimidating step, but it is the most vital. Our job as the church is to share the good news of Jesus Christ with a lost and dying world. 

  • Our next objective in building ministry is to establish new converts in their walk with Christ. Once we lead people to Christ, we don’t stop there! Our job now is to start discipling these students and help them learn how to have a healthy relationship with God. We focus on four main components in the discipleship process: God’s Word, Prayer, Evangelism, and Fellowship.


    We know that we cannot teach college students everything in the short four years we are with them, so we try to focus heavily on establishing them in the basics of the Christian faith. Our goal is to help student’s roots grow deep so that their faith would never be uprooted.

  • Once we establish these new converts in the faith, our job is still not done! We want to train these young Christians to be able to multiply their lives. We want them to know God’s Word and also be able to teach someone else God’s Word. We want them to know how to share the gospel with someone as well as be able to teach another young believer how to do the same. 

    Our hope is for the students we are leading to be fully equipped to labor for Christ and make disciples for His glory in college and for the rest of their lives.

  • Lastly, we want to export these students, once they graduate, all over the world to continue to impact the kingdom of Christ. We desire to help them transition strategically into the post-college world so that they would be effective laborers in their churches, families, communities, and work-places.
