Presbyterian Student Center. About Us

Presbyterian Student Center

Mission Statement
Our focus is on Jesus Christ, and our ministry is one of hospitality and discipleship. We believe that faith grows and truly flourishes in an overwhelming sense of God’s grace. Thus, we try to provide a setting where all are welcome, regardless of creed, denomination, or background, and where there is NO question or statement too “awful” to voice. The Center is a place where people can stop feeling torn down and instead, be built up in the body of Christ. We believe strongly in the priesthood of all believers, and therefore, ours is a shared ministry to one another and to God’s world. We believe that there is no easy, simplistic answers to the complex problems that we all face in this day. We also believe that God is with us and for us, and therefore we offer seekers and fellow strugglers for faith in Jesus Christ, encouragement to grow as God’s special and unique person, and opportunities to serve others in the name of Christ. We hope you will join us on the journey ahead!
Philosophy of Campus Ministry Strong, active college campus ministries are perhaps more important today than they have ever been. As colleges and universities seek to mold the intellect strong Christian based campus ministries should actively seek to mold spiritual minds also. Campus ministries should work with the education institutions to help mold individuals who are not only informed but who are aware of personal values and who seek to serve especially those in need. Working in tandem with the campus staff and outside community leaders, a strong campus ministry can also play an active role in molding effective Christian leaders. An effective campus ministry should provide opportunities for students to grow in their relationship with God. The ministry should also provide opportunities for the non-believer to hear the gospel and feel free to openly discuss their thoughts and have their questions answered. Opportunities to discuss issues of importance to spiritual growth should be provided as well as counseling and personal guidance. There should also be programs or events that foster lasting relationships among the participants. The overall success of the campus ministry cannot be solely measured by the activities within the walls of the student centers. The centers should also be involved with the campus and local communities in which it operates. Outside community involvement can help insure success of the campus ministry not only because of potential resources the center can gain but more opportunities to serve will become apparent. The physical center should provide a warm, inviting, and welcoming atmosphere for believers and nonbelievers. It should be considered a home away from home where students as well as faculty can always find a listening ear and a warm heart.
