ENCOURAGE MINISTRY ON CAMPUS.
1. In-Reach = Discipleship. The threefold purpose under discipleship is:
a. To invite students to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.
b. To help them grow spiritually through various spiritual disciplines (Bible study,
prayer, etc.).
c. To seek Christ-likeness in character and conduct. Some activities that can help toward
this goal are:
 Weekly/biweekly Bible study
 Prayer partners
 Small groups
 Spiritual retreats
2. Out-Reach = Mission. Commenting on the experience of the woman at the well (John 4),
Ellen White says, “Every true disciple is born into the kingdom of God as a missionary” (The Desire of Ages, p. 195). A second major area of focus for ministry on campus is
mission/outreach. Here are some tips:
a. Follow Jesus’ method: “Christ’s method alone will give true success in reaching the
people. The Saviour mingled with men as one who desired their good. He showed
His sympathy for them, ministered to their needs, and won their confidence. Then He
bade them, ‘Follow Me’” (Ellen White, The Ministry of Healing, p. 143). Effective, long￾lasting evangelistic efforts will follow the steps listed in the quote above.
b. Mingle with people – Go where they are:
 As one who desires their good – Care for them.
 Show sympathy – Demonstrate it.
 Minister to their needs – Be relevant.
 Win their confidence – Build trust.
 Bid them “follow” – Then invite them to follow Jesus.
c. Study these steps in depth and then plan accordingly.
d. The target is to involve every student in mission.
e. The goal is to share God’s love, not only doctrines.

PLAN FOR CAMPUS/STUDENT MINISTRY.
A key ingredient for the success of any group or chapter is good planning. Here are some
guidelines as you plan student events with your chapter or group:
1. Review and understand the PCM vision and mission.
2. Establish goals. Goals should be clear, compelling, and measurable. They should speak to
the mission and vision of PCM.
3. Stay focused. You may find many
activities that are appealing,
either because they have “worked”
somewhere else or because they
sound interesting. However, make
sure everything you plan is done
with purpose. Ask yourself the
question: “How will this activity
help us achieve our goals?”
4. Think ahead. From time to time,
you may have to plan an event
within a short period, but make
this an exception, not the norm.
As much as possible, plan well in
advance. This will make it easier in many ways: delegation of responsibilities, availability of venue, availability of speakers,
availability of funds, etc.
5. Think beyond. Remember that what happens before and after an event is as important as
the event itself. Ask yourself: “What will happen after this event? What is the follow-up?”
6. Training. Make sure you seek training for both chapter and group leaders and members.
Contact the conference PCM director or the union (where there is no conference) and
request training events and resources.
CULTIVATE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CHURCH.
1. Ideally, every PCM chapter or group should
be connected to and under the mentorship
and partnership of a local church. You may
operate a chapter or group completely
independent of a local church, but this is
advised only when there is no other choice
(no church nearby, church noninvolvement,
etc.). However, the conference and/or union
should be informed and involved. Union
or conference PCM directors/coordinators
should facilitate and provide guidance to
students, academics, and professionals
who are part

PUBLIC CAMPUS MINISTRIES (PCM) OBJECTIVES
1. Public Campus Ministries (PCM) aims to inspire, educate, equip, and empower Seventh￾day Adventists to be disciples of Jesus and to share the everlasting gospel on campus, in
the church, and in the community.
2. PCM collaborates with Adventist Chaplaincy Ministries (ACM), the GC Education
Department, Adventist Youth Ministries, and Adventist Health Ministries in providing
support to Seventh-day Adventists who, for a variety of reasons, attend non-Adventist
private and public colleges and universities around the world.
3. In collaboration with other ministry departments, PCM plans, promotes, and supports
initiatives designed to meet the discipleship needs of Adventist students, academics,
and professionals in educational institutions outside Adventist schools. In particular,
it focuses on the areas of spirituality, evangelism, intellectual challenge, community
outreach, and social integration of Adventists on non-Adventist private and public
campuses worldwide.
4. In cooperation with leaders at various church levels, PCM endeavors to:
a. Strengthen the faith commitment of students to Seventh-day Adventist beliefs
and mission.
b. Prepare students to deal with the intellectual challenges that arise in
a secular environment.
c. Develop the leadership abilities of students.
d. Provide students with opportunities for Christian fellowship.
e. Train students for outreach, mission, service, and witness on campus, in the church, in
the community, and in the world at large.
5. PCM cooperates with the Adventist Volunteer Service (AVS), the Adventist Development
and Relief Agency (ADRA), and Adventist Mission by encouraging the involvement of
Adventist students, academics, and professionals as mission volunteers. It also engages
the support of the Public Affairs and Religious Liberty (PARL) Department and the Ministerial Association in order to obtain, at the regional level, Sabbath exemptio

CONDITIONS TO ENSURE A SUCCESSFUL CAMPUS MINISTRY
To ensure a successful campus ministry and to ensure the spiritual growth of students
during their university years, these conditions should be met:
Proactive Student on Campus: The student must be self-motivated in diligently seeking
or creating an environment that will be conducive for their faith journey. Students often
lack spiritual resources such as parental guidance, spiritual mentorship from adults
(including youth ministry professionals), faith experience opportunities, etc. In addition,
the overwhelming influences available from the nternet, media, and their peers challenge
university students to maintain a spiritual focus. To counter this, university students need to
be self-willed and self-motivated in creating for themselves an environment in which they
can grow spiritually.
Spiritual Mentor in the Church, in the Community, and/or on Campus: A spiritual mentor
should be someone who has a committed love for God and His work, and who is willing
to care for students by providing attention, interest, and affection. This person will help
students process their beliefs and explore how to continue to live their Christian lifestyle. A
spiritual mentor can be a pastor, an elder, a church leader, a church officer, or another spirit￾filled church member.
Spiritual Community on Campus: This describes an environment in which students can
worship and fellowship with others who share common goals and objectives in life. This
environment could be found in the local campus chapter or in the local church.
Missional Church/Congregation: Students need encouragement and care, but they are also
in desperate need of challenge for mission and service.
