The importance of ministry to college students

“What will become of the 2007 graduates who will leave us next month college-bound?”

CCO alumnus and associate staff member, Byron Borger, asks this question in his opinion piece about the importance of ministry to college students, published in the July 15, 2007 issue of The York Daily Record.

From his article, “The yearnings of young collegians”:

“Congregations that have cared for their children through high school are thinking about how to equip them to be faithful in what some have described as Babylon U. Locally, at least one church, Asbury United Methodist, has hired a campus worker whose job it is to represent the church to local colleges. With college and technical school enrollments rising, congregations may need to explore partnerships with para-church college ministry organizations and think creatively about ways to maintain an appropriate presence on campus.” Click here to read more.
