THE CAMO NETWORK VISION
Helping churches
build a self-sustaining, multiplying college ministry in their city
about us
We are building a network of college ministries, each operating under the authority of a local church and united in theology, philosophy, and ministry practice. We believe God works through the church to change the world, and that college campuses provide a uniquely strategic opportunity for local churches to impact their communities and reach the next generation.
Each Campus Movement is led and governed by its local church, which holds full authority over its staff, leadership, and direction. We are committed to strengthening the role of the church in campus ministry, not replacing it.
The Campus Movement Network is supported by a central board of directors that provides organizational oversight. This board is responsible for broader decisions related to structure, resources, events, and expansion, helping ensure unity and sustainability across the network. However, each individual ministry ultimately remains under the authority and leadership of its local church.
what we provide
ministry
training
Most churches fail at college ministry not for a lack of zeal or passion, but for a lack of competence. Reaching college students with the gospel takes a great deal of time and strategy. We have a lot of strategic experience building college ministries and have skills and tools we can offer churches on how to build self-sustaining, multiplying college ministries that will help change the world. This doesn’t happen inside the church walls, but through “on the ground” evangelism and discipleship on the campus.
SUPPORT RAISING TRAINING
Building a college ministry takes FOCUS and a TEAM. Many churches struggle because there is not a concentrated effort to build. Churches need full-time staff whose sole responsibility is to evangelize and disciple students on the campus. Because most churches cannot afford this, we provide the training for staff to raise financial support to cover their salary and all ministry costs.
RESOURCES & MATERIALS
For the last decade our network has been creating resources directly catered to ministering to college students. We want to alleviate the time and effort it takes to create these kinds of resources by providing them for you. Our resources include materials for evangelism, discipleship, administrative planning, staff development, and much more.
COMBINED EVENT OPPORTUNITIES
There is strength in numbers. Being a part of a network provides the ability to bring your students to conferences and retreats with other like-minded ministries. These big events create a momentous and gospel-centered atmosphere that will cause tremendous growth in the lives of your students. There is also a huge advantage to being able to bring the students in your ministry to events that you did not have to plan.
SUPPORT & MENTORSHIP
It’s important for your ministry staff to receive support and advice from people who have been in the same situations and circumstances. Our staff have been doing college ministry for several years and can speak from personal experience. There will be times when you will not know what to do next to move your ministry forward or are unsure how to handle a certain on-campus situation. We are here to help you navigate those difficult situations. We will also provide in-person and virtual staff development and training to continue to bolster the preparedness of your ministry staff.
