Campus Ministries

The vision of Campus Ministries is to influence students to grow closer to Jesus, connect deeper in the biblical community, and serve Him selflessly.

Our Vision: To produce exceptional graduates prepared to competently engage local and global cultures through a Christ-centered worldview.

 

Students, faculty and staff meet weekly on Wednesdays at 11:00 a.m. for our chapel services. We meet each week in Manley Chapel. The purpose of chapel is for the entire campus community to join together in a time of worship and to set our hearts and focus on Christ.

PM is a once monthly corporate worship gathering for WBU students where students can sing praise to God through song, hear a message to encourage and equip them in living out their faith, and grow deeper in their love for Christ. PM happens in Manley Chapel and the dates of the meetings are communicated each semester through social media.

Living Room Events are fun events like retreats, cookouts, and Flight Night where students can connect with other students and influence them in the gospel.

Connect groups are small groups that meet to grow deeper in their faith. These sessions include Bible reading and discussion and time to share prayer needs and pray for one another.

One key component of the mission of Campus Ministries here at Williams Baptist University is “Serve”.  We want our students to serve in the local church, but we also want them to serve others around the world.  We facilitate this by taking two mission trips each year.  We will take a domestic spring break mission trip and an international trip in early summer.  Every other year we will take a longer international trip.  We also have multiple opportunities for students to serve longer-term trips in the summer.

One of our favorite partnerships in the summer is with Nehemiah Teams.  In just 52 days, Nehemiah led his people to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, restore a nation, and revive a people. It was a short-term project that had eternal results. In the same way, Nehemiah Teams are leading the next generation to reach every nation… standing in the gap between the un-reached and hard to reach. Nehemiah Teams offer short-term full-summer mission projects that have eternal results (focused in SE Asia).  Another project of Nehemiah Teams is Project 52, which strategically sends college-age people to the un-reached in North America.  Read more at http://nehemiahteams.blogspot.com/.

Praying for Missions

WBU has committed to pray for unengaged/unreached people groups. An unreached people group is a people group in which less than 2 percent of the population are Evangelical Christians. WBU Campus Ministries has adopted the people groups of the Khmer and Vietnamese in Cambodia.  We are praying for the Gospel to impact these groups specifically. Maybe some day a WBU student will be the one sharing the Gospel with these groups.

If you would like to join us in our prayer commitment, stop by the Campus Ministries office and pick-up a prayer guide or more information about a specific people group or visit the IMB Prayer page for more ways to pray! Other resources: The Joshua Project and PeopleGroups.org.
