CAMPUS MINISTRY AT RICHLAND COLLEGE

WHO ARE WE?

You’ll notice that we say “who” and not “what.” That’s because at the heart we’re not just a campus ministry organization, a system, or an event. We’re a community. We don’t go to FOCUS – we are FOCUS!

Spend any time with us and you’ll quickly see we’re all different–different majors, different places in our education, from different states, countries, and ethnicities. We grew up differently and with different faith backgrounds.

But we have some important things in common!

We recognize that college is a unique time of our lives and we want to make the most of it. Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” As we choose to follow Him we are experiencing that to be true.

 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT FELLOWSHIP

This is our weekly large-group meeting where we get together as a community of believers to celebrate and worship God and to connect with one another. We meet Wednesdays at 6pm during the school year. Our location may vary so check the calendar for up-to-date information. We hope you will join us!
 

CORE GROUPS

In addition to our large group meetings, FOCUS also has smaller communities called “Cores” that meet during the week throughout the school year. These same-gender groups, facilitated by student leaders or staff, allow for deeper discussion and the chance to share in each other’s lives. This is one of the main places students form long-lasting, close-knit friendships in our community. We refer to these groups as cores because they are the core of our ministry.
 

FOCUS ON JESUS

 Since our main mission is to “make and mature disciples” for Christ, we strive to ensure that each and every person in our ministry is growing as a follower and student of Jesus. Our student leaders and staff pastors take time to minister to others one on one through direct study of the Bible and Christ-centered principles, with the intent of training others to teach Christ to the people in their lives. We hope every student in FOCUS takes the opportunity to get involved in a Core and develop a deep spiritual friendship through a one-on-one study.
