Campus Ministers

One of the ways we demonstrate our love for students and for the university is through our support of an amazing group of men and women who have devoted their lives to serving both through InterVarsity Christian Fellowship and CRU. One big plus for us is not only do we support their work on campus but they are also part of our church community as well. They are a great bridge between campus and church. Get to know them and feel free to contact them if in any way they might help you settle in on campus or help you as you seek to serve Jesus there.
