Discipleship Making disciples is also a primary task of ministry. Evangelism and discipleship are two sides of the same coin. One is incomplete without the other. The Lord commanded his followers to go and make disciples of all people groups in Matthew 28:18-20. Non-Christians must be exposed to the gospel and challenged to receive Christ if this command is to be obeyed. But even then, obedience is only partial if new Christians are not faithfully and lovingly nurtured to learn and obey all the teachings of Christ.
Through small group Bible studies, one-on-one relationships, prayer groups, worship, fellowship, ministry opportunities, and accountability groups, students are nurtured toward spiritual maturity. Bible study groups meet regularly on campus each semester. Many of these groups are student-led under the direction of the Campus Ministries team. Interested students can apply to be study leaders through the Campus Ministries office. Training and accountability meetings are required for group leaders. Various topics of study related to student needs are available each semester. Students are encouraged to connect and engage in the life and ministry of a local church where they can grow as disciples with a community of believers.
Prayer Prayer is an essential aspect of spiritual formation. Students join their classmates in prayer in the classrooms, at worship services, and in small groups. The Todd Prayer Chapel offers a beautiful environment that is conducive for prayer, reading the Scriptures, and mediation. Students are welcome to write out their prayer requests and leave them on the rails for others to pray over. There is also a prayer request box where students can place their prayer burdens. The Campus Ministries Team collects these prayer requests and offers continued prayer support.
Fellowship Fellowship is available in many forms at North Greenville University. Informally, students build relationships with administrators, faculty, staff, and other students in classes, residence halls, the dining hall, and other places as they share in the university environment. Campus Ministries Interns and Chaplains facilitate community building in their residence halls and on athletic teams. Christian clubs and organizations offer other opportunities to share life together as students.
Ministry Every follower of the Lord Jesus Christ is called to minister. Ministry involves showing God’s love to others by meeting their needs in the name of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. These needs may be spiritual, emotional, physical, or relational. The following are ministry opportunities available through Campus Ministries at North Greenville University:
