Campus Ministry Groups


Campus Ministries

    

Here at Eastern a number of student-led campus ministries provide vehicles for developing students as Christian leaders and ministers. The focus of the groups ranges from service to evangelism and other forms of ministry. The Director of Christian Formation, Andy Horvath, assists and mentors student leaders in their spiritual growth and ministry leadership through training in April and August, then following up throughout the school year. Special events include Hunger and Homelessness Awareness (HAHA) Week in November, sponsored by YACHT, and Habitat's annual Act, Speak, Build week.

Below is a list of the various Campus Ministry Groups at Eastern.  For a complete list of clubs and student organizations, click here.
