Glorifying by Building…

OUR VISION

The vision of Campus Outreach is “Glorifying God by Building Laborers on the Campus for the Lost World.” We build laborers with a commitment to Jesus and His Great Commission through evangelism and discipleship.

We passionately reach students with the gospel and train them to become mature followers of Christ. Our desire is to see students leave college equipped to labor in the harvest field for the glory of God.

Believing, Developing, Reaching…

OUR VALUES

  • We value God’s love as the compelling motivation of our lives and believe that a true experience of His love leads to following Christ and no longer living for self. (2 Cor. 5:14-15)

  • We rely on God’s faithfulness to His promises.  Therefore, we value prayer.  We believe that through praying as Jesus commanded, we will see God work in amazing fulfillment of His promises. (2 Pet. 1:3-4, Matt. 9:37-38)

  • Just as Jesus did, we value the development of leaders.  Leaders are those who, in the power of the Spirit,  seek to lay down their life for the benefit of others…just as Jesus did. (Mark 10:43-45)

  • We value the example of ministry through multiplication that is repeated over and over in Scripture.  We believe that it is not merely a question of effectiveness but of bringing glory to God. (John 15:8, 2 Tim. 2:1-2)

  • We value taking the Gospel to those who have not yet responded to Jesus’ offer of salvation. We seek to follow Christ’s example of proactively taking the Gospel to the world. (Luke 19:10)

Living Out Our Commitments…

OUR DISTINCTIVES

  • In Connection With the Church: We believe in a strong relationship with the church. Each regional ministry is under the authority and leadership of a local hub church, which provides a crucial source of accountability, leadership, and resources. We are called to be inter-denominational and yet deeply connected with the Bride of Christ.

  • Catalytic Growth Opportunities: We create various Catalytic Events that are deemed critical for us in fulfilling our objectives on any particular campus and in any particular region of the work.  These events range from weekly worship to eight-week gatherings and are attended by dozens to thousands of students.  The intended purpose of such events includes evangelizing, establishing, equipping, and exporting/mobilizing.  The desired participants at any one of these events might be male, female, exposed or unexposed to the Gospel, non-Christian, growing Christian, or Christian leaders.

  • Commitment to Teams: We are passionately committed to build and multiply Teams who will live out the Gospel incarnationally in their context.  We believe this is an application of the Biblical truth of the Body of Christ and how God desires for the Body to operate.  We desire to live in such a way that our relating to one another will be a testimony to the world.  We desire to minister as a team in such a way that our impact is multiplied and the contribution of each person is maximized.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” (Matt 28:19-20)
