As young people leave home and head off to college for the first time in the fall there will be all kinds of organizations, activities, and opportunities competing for their attention. They will be seeking out the activities and events where they can meet people and make new friends. We would like to make sure that the Presbyterian Campus ministries around Indiana and Illinois are able to reach out to the rising first-year students from your congregation and help connect them to other young people from churches like yours and to find fellowship, worship, education, and service opportunities in their new home.
Below you will find contact information for all the ministries in the Synod of Lincoln trails that are registered with the PC(USA) “U-Kirk” network. If you would share with us the names and contact information for your rising first-years we would love to have the opportunity to reach out to them and make them feel “spiritually” welcome in their new surroundings.
Thank you in advance for your help and every blessing on your ministry!
In Christ’s name,
