Our
Training Philosophy
Studies have shown that the most
evangelistically effective leaders have been trained,
and evangelistically effective campus ministries don't pop
up by accident.
It sounds very spiritual for
a person to say, "Just sit back and let God do it all," or, "God
doesn't want us to be successful, He simply wants us to be faithful," but
what sounds spiritual on the surface isn't always so.
Our God wants
all men to be saved (1 Tim. 2:4), and 'all' leaves out no
one! The entire purpose of Jesus' ministry is summed up in one
statement found in Luke 19:10: "For the Son of Man came to seek and to
save what was lost." Jesus' purpose was/is 'to seek and to save,'
and, while He is the only One who ultimately pays for our sins, His plan
was never for Him to be the only One involved in the salvific work of
reaching lost people.
Jesus sent His disciples out into the
world to continue His mission of seeking and saving the lost. His final
marching orders recorded in Matthew 28:18-20 to go into all the world
making disciples of all people, baptizing them and teaching them to obey
God weren't just for the early disciples - they're for present
disciples too.
But Jesus never intended for anyone to go into
the world making disciples unprepared.
Jesus spent nearly
three full years with His disciples before sending them out to continue
His work. Jesus didn't enroll them in a school - the disciples walked
with Him, for He was the school.
Consider the apostle
Paul's work with Timothy and Titus. Neither of these young men were sent
into the field to take over ministries of their own without first walking
with Paul learning by being with him.
Fast forward to the present.
If you'd like to become an evangelistically effective campus
minister, you'll do so by first walking with someone who
already is.
CMU has identified the most evangelistically effective
campus ministries among the Churches of Christ, and has
partnered with several to provide
opportunities in practical, hands-on training for
interested parties.
Bible degrees are a good thing, but they're not
good enough on their own. Practical training is a must, and that's what
CMU offers.
