Nor Cal / Nev College Ministries

There are 81 colleges or universities that enroll more than 1,000 students in our district. We currently have ministries on less than 20% of those campuses.

We've got to start more ministries!

Basic Principles

1. Be sure to become a Registered Student Organization--it will really make a difference in your ability to get things done on campus (reserving rooms, etc).
2. Always prefer action over inaction.
3. You Get What You Have
4. Your methods speak louder than your messages. Students will imitate what they see--talk all you want about evangelism, if you all you do is invite Christians to come join a Christian club then that's all you can expect from your students.
5. Don’t start a large group meeting until you have around 20-30 students. If you don't have a critical mass then it's hard to grow. Students don't feel comfortable inviting their friends. Until that time, do everything through small groups.
6. The beginning is hard, exhausting work. You have to take the initiative in everything, meet people like crazy, and follow up on those meetings.
