Student Ministries

Student-led campus ministries provide avenues for developing students as Christian leaders and ministers and to get involved in a meaningful way. The focus of our Campus Ministries range from service to prayer to justice in a variety of forms. The Coordinator of Student Ministries & Service Learning assists and mentors student leaders in their spiritual growth and ministry leadership through training in August and January, then by following up throughout the school year. Special events include Hunger and Homelessness Awareness (HAHA) Week in November, sponsored by YACHT, and Habitat's annual Act! Speak! Build! Week along with guest speakers, partnerships with local affiliates, and with our own service learning program.

Un:ceasing Prayer Ministry

Un:ceasing Prayer Ministry is a gathering of brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ who see a world in need of hope. We are dedicated to spreading light in the darkness through the power of prayer. With an unceasing dedication to spiritual growth and praying for one another, we can not wait to see how God will boldly answer our prayers in individual lives, on campus, and in the world. Furthermore we want to help you mature your own prayer life through aligning your dreams and aspirations with those God has called you too. We invite each and everyone of you to come pray, grow, and learn with us.

Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
