Many churches are stuck in a state of confusion as to what’s actually needed to engage with college age people. Is it really just about having another service or ministry specifically designed for college age people, or is there something beyond this necessary for us to embrace? This seminar suggests there is much more to it. But to be effective in college ministry isn’t difficult, it simply takes focus in a few key areas. This seminar is designed to give a clear picture of what’s really needed and why, what works and what doesn’t, and a simple path to follow for any church or ministry, regardless of size or context.
