Purpose

Campus for Christ exists to help change the world by turning lost students into Christ-centered labourers.

Former President of the United Nations General Assembly, Charles Malik, once said, “The university is the clear-cut fulcrum with which to move the world. More potently than by any other means, change the university and you change the world.” That’s what we believe!

Our strategy in accomplishing this is to win, build, send.

WIN - Through various forms of initiative evangelism, as well as through the many outreach events we put on throughout the year,
it is our hope that every student every year at universities across Canada will have the opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ.
This “Knowing God Personally” booklet (pictured to the right) conveniently summarizes the basic principles about what it means to
have a relationship with God.

BUILD - Discipleship Groups, weekly large group meetings, and special retreats like Summit and Winter Conference, all serve
to better equip and “build” students up in their faith.

SEND - We also want to send students out to their jobs and on Spring and Summer Projects to be lights in the world for Christ.

Our primary results are to:

  • expose every student every year to the life transforming gospel
  • equip staff and students to be a powerful force in seeking to help fulfill the Great Commission in this generation through movements of evangelism and discipleship
  • expand our ministry impact to the top 40 campuses in Canada and help launch movements of evangelism and discipleship on 40 campuses internationally by 2010

All of these commitments are based on our Lord’s commands:

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
