Remind College-bound Students of Campus Ministries
As students at your church head off to college this summer, encourage them to seek out a collegiate ministry group on campus. A campus ministry is an opportunity for new and returning students to make friends, serve their community, and continue to develop their faith. POJ’s Collegiate Ministries supports programs at the University of Mary Washington, University of Richmond, University of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Virginia State University. Find other campus ministries through the UKirk website.
