3 Ways You Can Help Students Find Christian Community This Month

3 Ways You Can Help
Students Find Christian
Community This Month

 
Starting high school or university is a major milestone. As a new school year kicks off, our students are on a mission to meet their peers with presence, hospitality, and the love of Jesus.

Three fourths of students who meaningfully connect with a campus group do so in September. That means this month is crucial for connecting students with a community that can point them to Jesus through all of life’s challenges, like navigating anxiety, stress, and big life transitions.

Here are 3 simple ways you can join our students in reaching their campuses:

1. Connect

Do you know a student starting high school or university this week? Taking two minutes to reach out could change their entire educational journey. A quick message like:

“Did you know there’s an InterVarsity group at your school? Can I help you get connected?”

…makes a student 3 times more likely to join a fellowship! Check out our connect pages to help the student in your life find a Christ-centered community right where they are.

2. Pray

Campus fellowships are more than social clubs—they are faith-nurturing communities where real struggles are met with the peace of Christ. In fact, you can read this encouraging story of how one fellowship’s prayers helped interrupt a student’s anxiety during a stressful job search, showing how impactful student ministry is for meeting young people in their present needs.

You can surround our students and staff with this same spiritual support all term long. Download our latest issue of The Intercessor and use it as a guide to pray for campus outreach throughout September, and sign up to receive it straight to your inbox every month.

3. Donate

Reaching new students during September takes extra effort and resources—from tabling supplies and event transportation, to food (the ultimate hack for meeting students!), and dedicated staff time to mentor student leaders.

By giving today, you ensure student fellowships have everything they need to be highly visible on campus during this critical window of opportunity.
