about CMI
Campus Ministry International (CMI) was formed to enable and encourage local churches to effectively reach out to the college and university populations in their vicinities with the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is done by a variety of means, including motivating Districts and churches to establish and maintain campus evangelism, providing materials and training to aid in the formation of these campus ministries, acting as a clearinghouse for the gathering and distribution of new information, ideas, and materials, and establishing communication and cooperation between campus ministries in our fellowship.

The Staggering Potential of Campus Ministry

Campus ministry presents a greater opportunity for the expansion of the Kingdom than perhaps any other field of evangelism today. The entire spectrum of beliefs, attitudes, philosophies, and religions, set within a mosaic of races and languages, is accessible to anyone who takes the gospel to a college or university campus.

 

Given this reality, the words of Jesus Christ are immediately brought to mind:

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” (Matthew 28:19 - 20)

Can there be a better place to “Go ye therefore, and teach” than the college campus?

 

This material is to help a church start a campus ministry. Each church-campus relationship is unique, so the ideas contained are not prescriptive (i.e., every body must do each step in order). Instead, this information is intended to serve as a framework for the development of your effort.
