Differences of Opinion ...
We at CMU believe that
differences can be healthy. Many of you who listen to the
presentations on this website will not agree with
everything that you hear. It is our purpose to provide a forum, not
only to enrich existing ministries and equip leaders for evangelism,
but also to discuss tough issues relating to our fellowship and
heritage. Speakers represent a variety of views and opinions,
and it is healthy to examine various sides of an issue or topic
before drawing conclusions. That being said, we hope you are blessed
by the resources you find on our website. If you have a
question or concern, feel free to email
us and we will respond appropriately.

(32:34) 2006 Open Forum: Robert Cox, Marvin Crowson, Kerry
Cox, Lynn Stringfellow, Dr. Joe Brumfield1.After hearing Lynn 's presentation I realize that my
ministry is focused on ‘keeping the saved saved’ rather than reaching
out. How do I go about changing
my mentality? (1:34) 2.How is my
ministry going to look as I make a shift from focusing internally to
focusing externally? (13:37) 3.How would
you go about starting a new campus ministry in North
Florida or other locations where the ICOC has been active
before? (10:06) 4.When you’re
first establishing a campus ministry, aside from all the administrative
details, how exactly do you reach the students and get them started in the
funnel process? (7:30) 5.Do you have
any suggestions for campus ministry leaders who all have full-time jobs,
and whose sponsoring congregation offers limited
support? (7:15) 6.For a
ministry that’s just starting out, what are some specific ways you would
suggest advertising? (3:21) 7.One
challenge for me as a campus minister is balancing ministry time with
family time. What advice can you give me in the way of finding a healthy
balance? (4:39) 8.I was
startled to learn that so few conversions are occurring among Church of
Christ campus
ministries! Are we shooting in the wrong direction? What’s the
problem? (1:39) 9.How can we
use the events that occur within our church that are not specifically
related to campus ministry to show the rest of the congregation the value
of campus ministry? (8:33) 10.Are we
simply entertaining our students in our existing campus ministries instead
of teaching them to reach out? (9:28)
11.Many people
are concerned about campus ministry planting because of the endeavors
in the past that have gone horribly wrong. How do we make sure
this endeavor goes right? (8:04) 12.What is the single most
important characteristic that must exist in a brand-new campus ministry
plant? (0:44)
