CAMPUS MINISTRY CELEBRATES 100 YEARS

Centennial Celebration for Campus Ministry

Lutheran Campus Ministry began in the U.S. in 1907 when Pastor Howard Gold (right) was called to be the pastor at the University of Wisconsin – Madison.  In recognition of this centennial celebration, the 2006 NT-NL Synod Assembly passed a resolution unanimously urging all congregations to lift up and support the work of Campus Ministry. 

  • Connect with students, faculty & staff near your congregation
  • Notify the synod about your students (www.ntnl.org/cmrefer.htm)
  • Invite your students to speak in church and the educational hour
  • Encourage your students with mail, calls and care packages

(Mission Statement)
  • Meeting Student Needs
  • Representing You and Your Congregation
  • Tomorrow’s Lutheran Church

Lutheran Campus Ministry extends the mission outreach of ELCA congregations by serving young adults at college and university campuses in the Northern Texas – Northern Louisiana Synod. Through this ministry, Jesus encounters students in communities formed around God’s Word and the sacraments and calls them to follow him faithfully.

Currently seven congregation-based partnership ministries and a staffed campus ministry at the University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University:

  • Draw young adults into safe, caring, inviting, hospitable communities of worship, learning and service;
  • Nurture students into greater maturity in the Christian faith;
  • Care for the spiritual and emotional needs of young adults during a time of great change and opportunity;
  • Challenge and equip talented and committed students for leadership in church and world, including ordained and lay professional ministry; and
  • Obey the Great Commission by making disciples among persons 18 to 26, the age group that is least connected to the church.
