For Parents
You care about
what happens
to them
in college.
So do we. Here is exactly what Across Campus looks like, who we are, and what your son or daughter will experience with us.
Questions Parents Often Ask
Will they find a good community where their faith is deepened?
Who is actually teaching them, and what are they being taught?
Will they be connected to a local church — not just a parachurch bubble?
What does involvement with AC actually look like day to day?
Who We Are
01
Church-Sent
Across Campus is not an independent parachurch organization. We are a ministry of local churches, operating under the oversight of elders. Your student is being introduced to the church — not away from it.
02
Doctrinally Serious
We hold to the full authority of Scripture, a clear and complete gospel, and historic Baptist ecclesiology. We teach doctrine. We don't water it down to be more appealing.
03
Long-Term Focused
Our goal is not to be the best four years of your student's spiritual life. Our goal is to set them up for a lifetime of faithfulness in the local church, their vocation, and their family.
What You Can Expect
A Year in the Life.
Fall
Welcome week outreach, weekly evangelistic Bible studies, life-on-life discipleship with staff and older students, a fall retreat with clear gospel teaching and community. Your student is meeting people, studying the Word, and being connected to a local church.
Spring
CROSS Conference — a transformative gathering for college students around God's mission. Spring Break evangelism trip. Students are growing in their faith, leading Bible studies, and becoming the kind of person who invests in others.
Summer
For motivated students: Rooted, a summer program where students live in community, work, and receive training in evangelism and discipleship. Short-term mission trips for more mature students.
What Makes AC Different
We connect them to a church. Not just to us.
Many campus ministries become a student's primary spiritual community — and then they graduate, and that community is gone. Students end up ill-equipped for lifelong church involvement.
We take a different approach. Early on, we connect your student with a healthy, gospel-preaching local church. Staff and older students come alongside to disciple them in prayer, Bible study, and community — with the trajectory of faithful church membership long after college.
College is a unique season meant to prepare them for life. We want it to be a natural on-ramp to the local church where they can faithfully serve all their days.
By Year 2
Your student is a church member, involved in Sunday worship, growing through preached Word and community.
By Year 3
They are actively sharing their faith with fellow students, capable of leading a Bible study.
By Year 4
They are discipling younger students and serving in the local church — equipped for a lifetime of ministry.
After Graduation
They are not lost without a campus ministry. They are already embedded in a church. They know how to make disciples. They carry the tools for the rest of their lives.
Get Connected
Contact the staff at your student's campus.
The best thing you can do is connect your student directly with the campus staff nearest them. You can also encourage them to come to a Bible study — it really is that simple.
