CCO Campus Ministry

Home / About Us / Where We Serve / All Schools / Carnegie Mellon University

The ministry at Carnegie Mellon University is multifaceted. CCO staff Dave Bindewald works in cooperation with Shadyside Presbyterian Church and Jonny and Emily Cagwin work with Church of the Ascension to meet the needs of CMU students. Greg Burdette reaches out to graduate students in partnership with Bellefield Presbyterian Church, and Ken Wagoner works specifically with Chinese scholars in cooperation with China Outreach Ministries and PRISM.

Dave Bindewald serves undergraduate and graduate students at CMU through a variety of communal activities. Dave advises a student-led organization called FLOG (For the Love of God). FLOG is an intentionally flexible and celebratory Christian community which hosts community dinners at a student’s home every Sunday night at 6 p.m., studies Scripture together on campus every Tuesday night at 9 p.m., invites students into intentional discipleship and exploration of the Gospel through small groups of two or three, and organizes opportunities to seek justice, both locally and nationally. FLOG draws its existence and hope from its mission statement to continue in these activities “Until All is As it Should Be.” Please contact Dave by phone (412-480-9311) or email for more information or to get involved. Dave continues a long and fruitful partnership between Shadyside Presbyterian Church and the CCO as they work to transform generations of future leaders at Carnegie Mellon.

The CCO also serves the athletic community on campus through Bible studies and small groups specifically for the football and track teams. Jonny Cagwin leads a Bible Study for the track team and there is a student-led Bible study of football players which Dave advises.

Bellefield Presbyterian Church, Shadyside Presbyterian Church and Church of the Ascension, an Anglican parish, are all located within walking distance from Carnegie Mellon University. Church of the Ascension offers students Sunday evening Bible studies (at 7pm every week), weekend service opportunities, and a community of believers that values the university community. Join Church of the Ascension for worship.

Bellefield Presbyterian Church reaches out to graduate students at various Pittsburgh universities. Students from area departments are invited to grow vocationally and spiritually during their stay in graduate school. Places of ministry include weekly Bible studies, movie discussions, local and international trips, and service in the local church.

Also, CCO staff worker Ken Wagoner works primarily with Chinese students, in one-on-one and small-group settings.
