Campus Ministries Ready to Support Your College Students | |
Do you have church members heading to college next month? Many campuses have a Presbyterian or ecumenical ministry ready to support these young adults. Joining a campus ministry can help students create relationships, serve their community, and stay engaged with the church. Ask your college-age members if you can share their contact info with our campus ministers. Or encourage them to check our website and/or the UKirk website to find a program at their school.
