South Sudan Education and Peacebuilding Project (SSEPP) 1st Quarter 2020 Summary Report
Thank you! In 2019, your gifts to the Jinishian Memorial Program empowered struggling Armenian communities in seven countries. How?
UKirk stands for “university church.” (Kirk is the Scottish word for church.) Some UKirks are campus ministries out of a single congregation, while others are supported by their Presbytery. Some are 501©3s that have been around for decades, while others are recent start-ups that involve part-time leadership. This resource contains things to consider when starting a UKirk Ministry and advice from a former UKirk pastor.
While congregations and new worshiping communities are facing unprecedented challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, they are also innovating by learning new technologies, starting new missions, and finding new ways to be the Church while social distancing. This report gathers information from surveys of mid councils, congregations, and new worshiping communities to give a peek into how PC(USA) congregations are reacting to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The ultimate question you will be seeking to answer is: “Are we a church that reaches, loves and teaches college students so that they may be life long followers of Jesus Christ?” The intention of this congregational readiness assessment survey is to provide you with a rational approach to answer that question in part by helping you realize how prepared your congregation is to engage in collegiate ministry
Campus ministers are called to affirm the whole person, so what is our role as those who minister to students during college years who find themselves struggling with mental health issues? Because most ministers serving in higher education are not licensed therapists, what can a campus minister or other staff person do when confronted with questions about mental health, no matter the source?
UKirk Campus Ministries vary in governance structure from congregation-based ministries to independent 501©3 organizations, with many variations in-between.This Quicksheet offers a variety of reflections on ways to recruit, equip and empower a board of directors to support and sustain successful campus ministry.
Many UKirk collegiate ministries are also worshipping communities and whether that takes place weekly or monthly, the way you shape your worship life also shapes the way the community is bound together. This resource is designed to provide some reflections on worshipping as a campus ministry and to offer some ideas for how to create worship themes that fit a semester calendar.
Social media is a great way to tell the many stories of life and of your campus ministry. This Quicksheet aims to help you and your campus ministry better understand and better utilize different social media platforms.
The transition from high school to college is a big one. This Quicksheet provides some helpful guidelines to help navigate it - both for youth workers & campus ministers.
