2019/2020 Campus Ministry Leadership Team Campus Ministry is one of the most active and multifaceted groups at Concordia.
From Bible studies to volunteer opportunities, it is the mission of Campus Ministry to seek the lost, strengthen the saved, and nurture Christian leaders. In conjunction with our campus pastors and other support staff, the Campus Ministry Leadership Team (CMLT)—a team of student leaders who organize and champion the various ministries—is present and prepped to share God’s Word on campus, in the community, and throughout the world.
If you’re a CUW student and you haven’t yet explored a Campus Ministry offering, it’s worth a look! Keep reading to learn about all of the amazing groups you can be a part of.
