The Need for College Ministry
There are over 140,000 college students in the St. Louis Metro area.
College ministry is necessary because:
- The college campus is increasingly hostile toward Christianity.
- Over 70% of active, church-going youth stop attending church for at least a year during college.
- College students are looking for hope, answers, and meaning.
College ministry is strategic because:
- College students are the future leaders of the world – and the church.
- Some of life’s major decisions are made during the college years – who to marry, where to live, what to become, what to believe.
- College students are one of the most unevangelized people groups in North America.
