Collegiate Ministry Elements

Are there any very important, crucial elements that are necessary to have a fully-developed collegiate ministry?

At a recent LEAD THEROUNDTABLE college leader training they pointed out that two things happened when Jesus met with crowds.  First, Jesus taught the crowds.  Most of the time he did this through parables that spiritual meaning through common stories.  Second, usually a miraculous event occurred.  People were healed or fed and the crowds were amazed.

I believe that there are two minimums that a collegiate ministry needs to have to effectively reach lost 18-24 year olds.  First, there must be relevant teaching.  Second, there must be Christ-centered worship.  Crowds today typically don’t witness miracles.  However, we can create an environment where they can experience the reality of Jesus through worship.

What are some important elements?
