About

Welcome to Faith On Campus!

The college years are some of the most formative of life. But they can also be some of the most challenging to navigate well. God is calling young women and men on campuses all around the world to commit their lives — and these critical college years — to Him!

FaithONCampus.com was created back in 2009 out of a desire to promote conversations, share resources, find encouragement and explore the life and soul care of those of us who serve in this key missional field.

The STUDENTS.FaithOnCampus site officially launched on August 1st of 2013, with the hope of engaging students in meaningful and formative conversations exploring the convergence of Christ, culture, and the college experience.

I invite YOU to be a part of shaping the conversation that happens here!

I will personally try to contribute to the conversation 2-4 times a week [during the work week] and I hope you’ll share your thoughts with me and any others that happen to stop by. I believe that the conversation grows increasingly rich and robust as more and more choose to join in!
