High School Students!

Even though 8 in 10 students in youth groups intend to continue their faith in college, only 3 in 10 have been surviving and thriving.   Fortunately for you, there is now a movement in America that has proven to reverse this for you and your entire church or school.  You can now connect with campus ministries as juniors or seniors and set up the most exciting and fruitful time of your life.  Watch the  video clips on this page..

Why High School Juniors & Seniors need to prepare and connect now 

Each Fall is one of the most critical seasons for the success of the church in America, since during Freshmen orientation and the weeks that follow, all the love and instruction that parents and churches have poured into our students either bears fruit or becomes damaged or is cast aside.   Research shows that the future lives of believers and non-believers alike are significantly altered during the first weeks of college, which is why we need to prepare our youth to work with ministries to know the other believers in their dorm and reach out as a team.  Juniors are wise to select colleges that have strong campus ministries to build a base of initial friends.   We can share how this is being rolled out in a fuller way nationally with the leadership of Believers College Prep, Campus Renewal, Youth Transition Network and a number of ministry and denominational channels.
