Ministry TEAM
Advisor: TBD
Ministry assistants work at building community and serving as a spiritual resource
to their fellow students. They are available as a listening ear for peer counseling
and support. They also provide opportunities for spiritual growth, such as Bible studies,
mentoring, prayer practices and other ways to connect with God both individually and
in small group settings. Ministry assistants are a good resource in helping students
get oriented to various spiritual life activities on campus, as well as service projects
off campus.
