Nor Cal / Nev College Ministries

1. Be sure that they know about Chi Alpha! If possible, invite Chi Alpha missionaries to come and speak in your youth group at least once a year.
2. For Christmas of their senior year by them an appropriate gift-book that will help them out. How to Stay Christian in College (ISBN:1576830616) by J. Budziszewski is the most practical guide around.
3. If possible, in the spring quarter launch a discussion group/small group/breakout session where seniors can talk about their impending college experience. If they begin praying and thinking about it now it will really help them out.
   

But I'm Already Too Busy!

If you’re a youth pastor who has two extra hours a week to reach college students, how in the world can you accomplish anything of value?

By treating students as co-ministers.

For example, launch the Investigative Bible Studies but don’t lead any of them yourself. Just give the resources to some students and tell them to go. Will they make mistakes? Yes, huge ones. That’s okay.

Plug into district college ministries and let the district put on events that make you look good. Bring your students to retreats, leadership training events, and whatever else you can get them to.
