Q
Are you part of Campus Crusade for Christ?

 

 

A
We are the faculty ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ (CCC). The Campus Ministry—the original ministry founded in 1951—reaches out to students as a separate but related part of the organization. We are one of more than 65 ministries of CCC in the U.S.

     

Q
So why not just focus on students?

 

A
CCC co-founder, the late Bill Bright, shared some years ago that if he had it to do over again, he would have worked with professors right from the genesis of the ministry in 1951. He came to realize the unique and critical role professors play in training future leaders and setting the tone for a culture's beliefs.

Also, in a 1990s study, the major campus ministries in the U.S. (including The Campus Ministry of CCC) found that together they were reaching only about 30 percent of the students in the U.S. each year. Thus, apart from their influence on colleagues and the culture, professors play a pivotal role in giving students a chance to know someone who walks with Christ.

     

Q
What can you do or say on today's campuses legally? Indeed, how can professors in secular universities even participate with you?

  A
Although many wonder about this vital concern, there is actually more freedom to express one's faith on campus today than many realize, even for faculty members. We have been at the forefront of researching and instructing faculty on their rights to conduct their careers (and personal lives) in a legal, appropriate and genuine way without compromising their beliefs. See our Legal Rights section.
