Overview

Mission

Provide Biblically-based Christian Ministry Services and Leadership Development to University and High School Students.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, we continued our partnership with several national college ministries to catalyze the "Collegiate Day of Prayer", an initiative to mobilize prayer and adoption of every university campus in the United States by churches and youth-focused ministries in all 50 States. Student Churches continued to equip youth ministries and train ministry leaders throughout the US in discipleship multiplication utilizing e-courses, written training resources, and online coaching and mentoring for youth-focused ministry workers.
