OUR DISTINCTIVES

• In Connection With the Church: We believe in a strong relationship with the church. Each regional ministry is under the authority and leadership of a local hub church, which provides a crucial source of accountability, leadership, and resources.

• Life-on-Life Discipleship: We believe the best spiritual training takes place in the context of relationships. We emphasize the importance of relational ministry – one individual sharing his or her life with another. Through this process believers are born, discipled, and grow to maturity. We desire to live out the Gospel in all our relationships among students, with staff, among the various Campus Outreach ministries, and in the body of Christ.

• Large Events and Small Groups: Christ ministered in two ways. First, he invested in small, relational settings where leaders and participants could influence one another. Second, he ministered through powerful events that gathered, trained, and encouraged large groups of people all at once. We provide a variety of large gathering and small group contexts for students to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and one another.

• Catalytic Growth Opportunities: Beyond our campus, we work with other Campus Outreach ministries in our region to provide catalytic events for students to experience meaningful spiritual growth in life-giving environments. ReCon Conference, ALPHA Project, Alpha+ Cross-Cultural Projects, Regional Citywide nights and Fall Retreat are all designed for students to experience “catalytic growth” in their faith and friendships.

• Leadership Development: As our values state, we believe in developing leaders so that gospel can spread and disciples can multiply throughout the campus and the world. We seek to not only evangelize the lost and establish Christians in their faith, but also equip students to evangelize and disciple others.
