WHO JOINS CAMPUS MINISTRY?
Members of Campus Ministry are students who share in the Campus Minister's role of ministering to the student body as well as to the surrounding community. This work includes the areas of liturgy, retreat work, peer support, community service, and recreation. Campus Ministry is open to high school students of any grade. Students of other Christian denominations are also welcome to join. Interested students complete an application at the beginning of each school year. All applications are reviewed by the Campus Minister before membership becomes official.
A smaller group of Campus Ministers, known as the Executive Board, meets once a month to make long-range plans for the liturgical year. At least two representatives from each grade meet with Mrs. Mattix-Wand to design plans for the upcoming months.
