CCO associate staff members minister to students at Messiah College in a variety of ways. Wendell Witter is Director of the LOFT, and Chad Frey serves with the Agape Center for Service and Learning. Dave Tanis also reaches out to students.
The LOFT is responsible for advancing the mission of Messiah College and the CCO through fostering leadership development, team-building, and discipleship, through adventure and educational programming. This is done through group facilitations, wilderness trips, development of student leaders, and a weekly Bible study which meets on Mondays at 8:30pm at the Loft.
The Agape Center for Service and Learning develops, administers, resources, and coordinates programs of service-learning, community service, and mission, contributing to the mission of Messiah College to “educate men and women toward maturity of intellect, character, and Christian faith in preparation for lives of service, leadership, and reconciliation in church and society.” Students, faculty, and staff work with community-based partners in local, national, and international settings to address community needs, to provide holistic learning opportunities for students, and encourage students toward an ethic of discipleship, service, and civic engagement.
to develop men and women who live out their Christian faith in every area of life.
