Lately I’ve been reading up on college ministry. What it looks like in different churches, why have a college ministry, why is there such a disconnect after high school and many other aspects of this age group.
I have a huge heart for this age group. For myself this time in my life was challenging and sometimes difficult. It’s hard trying to find your identity when you are looking for it in everything else besides in God. This was my problem. Yes, I was a Christ follower, but I was trying to find my identity elsewhere. It wasn’t until my senior year in college I figured this out. Which by the way, it took me 5 and a half years to get my bachelor’s degree. Nothing like cramming 4 years of college into 5 and a half. Anyways, I say this because it is not easy to find your identity. And that is why I have been intrigued by ministering to this age group. Now, what this looks like for me and how this will happen, I’m not 100% sure, but have some ideas.
If you are a veteran college pastor or a rookie I suggest you pick up Chuck Bomar’s book College Ministry 101. I just started reading it. It’s a great read and has a lot of great ideas and information.
I will probably have many more posts about college ministry and thoughts surrounding this age group. If you are a college pastor I would love to connect with you.
