Nor Cal / Nev College Ministries

Being a college pastor can feel pretty lonely. Youth pastors have their own community, senior pastors exist in a world filled with conferences and camraderie, and you're stuck somewhere in the middle.

Few churches have full-time college pastors unless they're running 1,500 or more. That seems to limit your pool of peers pretty strictly. In actuality, you have more than you realize--see the Ministry Directory.

Please know that in this district you as a college pastor are welcome to join with the Chi Alpha missionaries anytime for anything. The default is that you're invited. This specifically includes social functions, training times, and retreats.

Conferences For Church-Based College Ministers

• Reach The U for Church Staff: http://www.reachtheu.com/ (the Assemblies of God-sponsored conference for church staff engaged in college ministry).
• Ascent is sponsored by University Presbyterian Church in Seattle for college pastors on church staff. I can't find an online guide right now, but I did find archives of this year's conference: http://www.upc.org/Page.asp?Id=185
• The Ivy Jungle also draws a lot of college pastors.
