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

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.
