Sunday, August 19: Celebrate Campus Ministry Sunday

The Eastern PA Conference Board of Higher Education and Campus Ministry asks churches to observe Campus Ministry Sunday August 19 or on a more convenient Sunday from now through September. Churches are asked to receive a special offering to support conference-affiliated campus ministries.

Congregations involved in local campus ministries themselves may designate up to 50 percent of their voluntary, second-mile offerings to support those ongoing ministries. The rest should be forwarded to the Conference Office to aid in our conference-wide campus ministry efforts. Thank you!

Please download, print and use this descriptive worship bulletin insert for your church’s observance.

Those policies and procedures–including mandatory reporting expectations and security clearances or waivers for all personnel who have regular contact with children and youth–are implemented with the help of various forms stored in this section of the Website. Continue
