CAMPUSES

TO REACH A GENERATION FOR KING JESUS

None of this happens without you.

College campuses remain one of the most strategic mission fields in the world. Every year, millions of young adults step onto campus and begin forming their identity, worldview, and future.

At Church for the Campus, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to meet Jesus in a thriving, disciple-making church right where they live and learn. This conviction drives our mission: to train and send leaders who plant healthy, multiplying churches at the very edge of the campus. When a church is present at the campus gate, students don’t just hear about Jesus, they are discipled, equipped, and sent out as lifelong leaders for His mission.

And none of this happens without you.

Your prayer, partnership, and generosity have made it possible for leaders to be trained, churches to be planted, and students to encounter Jesus in life-changing ways. Because of you, the next generation is experiencing the gospel not as an idea but as a lived reality within a church that walks with them.
The urgency is clear: the future church will be shaped by the students we reach today.

Below you’ll read the exciting updates about 3 new churches planted, new believers coming to Jesus, and leaders being trained to live on mission.

Thank you for believing in these leaders, these churches, and the students whose lives are being transformed. And thank you for ensuring that every campus has a church ready to point the way to Jesus.

Together, we are planting the seeds of a movement that will outlive all of us.

Let’s Go!

Cedar city church

Michigan State University

Cedar City Church launched this fall and already has witnessed powerful spiritual transformation in the lives of many.  People with little prior connection to God began pursuing Him through Scripture, prayer, and everyday gospel living. A defining story comes from Kadin, a senior at MSU, whose bold step to start a home Bible study led to Tyler hearing the gospel, placing his trust in Jesus, and beginning weekly discipleship. These kinds of relational, multiplying moments reflect the heart of Cedar City’s mission: disciples making disciples, one life at a time.
