Campus Church Planting

The vision is to see movements of Jesus followers experiencing radical transformation and reshaping their campuses and the world. This kind of church plant is a spiritual home planted in the middle of university life—built with students, led by students, and guided by wise mentors so that generations are changed through life with Christ and his people.

Vision from the student perspective

As a student, you are invited to help build a church that is truly “for everyone” but especially shaped with your campus and your friends in mind. You are not just attending something adults designed for you; you are helping create a community where your peers can encounter Jesus, wrestle with real questions, and see the gospel lived out across all ages.

In this church, you lead in worship, hospitality, outreach, groups, and decision-making, while being mentored and equipped to do it well. You experience an intergenerational family where you can see healthy marriages, parenting, vocation, and long-haul faith up close, not just hear about them in theory.

Vision from the church perspective

As a church, you are called to plant a congregation that sits at the intersection of campus and community, with a clear missional focus on college students, faculty, and staff. This is not “college ministry 2.0,” but a full expression of the local church—worship, sacraments, discipleship, mission, and intergenerational life—all contextualized to the university.

Your role is to create a culture where students share real responsibility alongside adults, serving all ages while keeping the campus at the center of your missional lens. By moving closer to campus, you deepen evangelism, understand the university’s unique needs, and become a tangible blessing to the broader academic community.

Where Intersect comes in

Intersect.college works to connect students, churches, and practitioners so that this kind of campus-focused, intergenerational church is not a one-off experiment, but a reproducible model. The aim is movement: communities that experience radical life transformation and impact their campus and the world around them.
