As a parent of a student about to leave for college, you may have anxieties about what your student will face. The truth is, your concerns are not completely unfounded.

Spiritual challenges are unavoidable in today's world, and nowhere is this truth more obvious than on our college campuses. Students are exposed to a liberal world view and new ideas, many of which are entirely humanistic. Many students fall prey to peer-pressure, loneliness, fear, and temptation.
Everything that you have taught them will be challenged when they make the transition to an independent life on the university campus. Is your student ready for the responsibility?

The statistics are not encouraging. According to Chris Leland, Ph.D., the Director of College & University Outreach and Senior Fellow for Christian Worldview Studies at the Focus on the Family Institute, “over 75 percent of Christian students will leave college with their faith either absent or severely damaged. Over 80 percent of college professors report themselves as either liberal or very liberal. Together with the other statistics about the impact this culture is having on a student's Christian worldview, the odds seem overwhelming.”
Even if these students later return to their faith in Christ, many important decisions are typically made during the college experience, including career choices and mate choices.
We’re happy to say that there is good news:
Campus ministries exist to help you and your students not only survive, but grow during what can be a very challenging time.

Campus Christian Fellowship (CCF) is a non-profit organization that ministers to University students. CCF currently has full time ministries on four campuses in the state of North Carolina. Those four universities are the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, East Carolina University, North Carolina State University, and the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.

In these ministries, young adults are nurtured in a caring atmosphere, which encourages them to maintain their faith, grow in their faith, and develop relationships with other students who have a desire to grow in their faith as well..
Each ministry is unique, and shaped by the needs of the particular campus. We encourage you to check out the websites for each ministry and see what is going on.

Within all the ministries, the students participate in Bible studies, one-on-one meetings with the minister or other mentor, and many other group events. They attend retreats together and go on mission trips together. In short, they share one another’s lives and help each other to thrive.
We cherish the opportunity to minister to your student. If we can help you in any way, please contact us.
