Coalition for Christian Outreach

What it reported doing in 2024

We do contextual ministry, meaning that our staff people adjust to the needs of the particular campus at which they serve. No two cco ministries look exactly alike. Because the cco partners with local churches, colleges, and organizations, staff people are fully available to students on a particular campus. They introduce college students to the gospel message and equip them to be leaders. Experience has shown that when students are given opportunities to lead and to invest in others while in college, they are better equipped to translate their learning into their various roles after they graduate.here are some of the unique ways cco campus ministry staff minister to students:1.studying the scriptures with students and showing them how to lead bible studies with others2.taking students to church and inviting them to get involved in local congregations3.teaching students how to take their christian faith and live it out in the way they study, listen to music, engage on social media, and interact with their friends and family 4.introducing students to the gospel of jesus christ and equipping students to share their faith with others5.inviting students to participate in creative opportunities for transformation, including adventure, service, travel experiences, and summer leadership projects, where they deepen their faith and hone leadership skills6.certain campus ministry staff focus their outreach to student athletes, helping them to balance the challenges of academics, athletics, faith development, and a healthy social life.7.certain campus ministry staff focus on reaching out to international students, and all campus ministry staff minister to students across racial and ethnic barriers. 8.the annual jubilee conference encourages students to dream about how their gifts might be used and developed to serve god and others.
