Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students

CLICK THIS LINK —> HOME PAGE

C.A.M.P.U.S., the Center for Adventist Ministry to Public University Students is a bold attempt by the Michigan Conference Public Campus Ministries Department to respond to the crucial need of training young people to evangelize public university and college campuses.  CAMPUS is currently based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, near the University of Michigan campus.

CAMPUS challenges students to live and share our distinctive Adventist message and lifestyle among their friends. CAMPUS also inspires, trains, and supports youth and young adult groups to be committed to the following ideals:

  • Vision: To develop a Bible-based revival movement in which every student is a missionary
  • Philosophy: Academic excellence combined with spiritual excellence
  • Methodology: Biblical simplicity: “Your success is in your simplicity. As soon as you depart from this… your power is gone.” (2T 608)
  • Goal: To double our membership every year
  • Watchword: Each one reach one
  • Mission: To prepare public campuses for the imminent return of Christ.

Our Objectives:

  • To proclaim the Three Angel’s Messages in the academic environment
  • To teach Adventist students how to win their friends, faculty, and staff to Christ
  • To provide training in the establishment of Adventist fellowships and congregations on major secular campuses
  • To assist churches in training and equipping students as soul-winning agents on the public campuses they have chosen to attend
  • To instill in program participants a commitment to life-long ministry

Why Ministry on Public Campuses?

  • Three times more Adventists attend secular colleges and universities than our denominational institutions.
  • There are more than 40 major colleges and universities in Michigan alone-not reached, not evangelized.
  • Some campuses have a population equivalent to small cities.
  • Many of our young people lose their faith while attending public colleges and universities. However, it has been proven that those who are trained, nurtured, and encouraged, benefit the church with talent, leadership, and a strong commitment to the local congregations they attend.
  • Not enough attention and financial support are given to public campus ministry.
  • According to Ellen G. White, ministry on public campuses is a work that “must and will be done.” - 3SM 234

      Sanctify them through the Truth! Thy Word is Truth. John 17:17

      Welcome to the FAITHFUL WITNESS. It is our intent that this website bears the reflection of our One and only Savior, Jesus Christ. We live in very important times as the soon return of Jesus is not far distant. It is our Divine Honor and privilege to prepare our lives, hearts and minds to represent Him to the World that they may turn to Him and prepare themselves to meet their God. Looking through the portals of time at our present day, the Apostle Peter ask "Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conduct and godliness" 2 Peter 3:11. What we have before us is an opportunity. An opportunity to honor Jesus and bring Joy to the Heart of the Father by representing Him to the World! God is looking for a people He can trust to reveal His Holy Character through, that a fallen world might perceive the Love of God and turn to Him with all their hearts and be saved! It is our prayer that we may be a light to help this happen. May God bless you as you explore and seek after truth. Email us at contact@thefaithfulwitness.org

    Reaping the Whirlwind by Joe Crews

    "The true message to Laodicea will boldly declare that sins are being committed by the church members, and even by the institutions of the church. "Unless these evils which bring the displeasure of God are corrected in its members, the whole church stands accountable for them." Review and Herald, December 23, 1890"

  • Perspectives

    "Truth is not what I believe. Truth is not even what I know. Truth is fact. I may not believe it. I may not know it. That does not change it. It is there nevertheless, waiting to be discovered and believed. Truth does not depend on the unsettled and changing opinions of men. It was truth before it was believed. It will remain truth whether it is believed or not." Carlyle B. Haynes, When a Man Dies, p. 9
