Across Greater New Jersey, congregations are meeting college students on their campuses and engaging in life-giving ministry and sharing the love of Jesus.

Next Generation Ministries supports campus ministry programs in GNJ through a strong network of collaboration. One of the many benefits of Next Gen’s Campus Ministry Network is the Campus Ministry Grant program.

Through the program, congregations receive funding for a year to pursue innovative, creative and risk-taking ministry that leads to new connections on campus, growing discipleship and student leaders making a difference in their communities.

As part of the Campus Ministry Network, grant recipients will receive all the tools they need to help their programs be successful, including:

• Regular check-in and coaching calls
• Sharing of best practices and challenges with other campus ministry programs
• Participation in a yearly planning retreat
• Accountability for attaining program goals

Selected applicants must develop the following:

• A measurable and achievable goal describing how college students will connect with God and each other during the upcoming year
• A measurable and achievable goal describing how college students will grow in faith during the upcoming year
• A measurable and achievable goal describing college students will have leadership opportunities during the upcoming year
