Steve Scholar, pastor of the Edgewood Baptist Church, Nicholasville, KY Click on headline for complete article with photo(s) BR> By Linda Waggener News from Campbellsville University CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - Campbellsville University president Michael V. Carter welcomed members to the fall Church Relations Council (CRC) meeting with an update on the busiest summer in the life of the university from mission outreach to new academic programs starting this fall and expanding sports areas to meet student interest. Carter said to think of CU's history and mission as online student numbers grow, and CU has the challenge of how to provide the same experience to them as to on-campus students. He said, "In order to meet this need and keep to the Christ-centered commitment, the School of Theology has developed a new online chapel and the university is now able to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to Campbellsville University students all around the world." Dr. Joseph L. Owens, chair of the Board of Trustees and pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church in Lexington; and Dr. Mike O'Neal, CRC chair, member of the Board of Trustees and pastor of Campbellsville Baptist Church, both spoke to the group. They welcomed the incoming 2015 chairman of the CRC, the Rev. Steve Scholar, pastor of Edgewood Baptist Church, Nicholasville, Ky.; and chair-elect Dr. Joel Carwile, senior pastor at Valley View Church, Louisville, Ky., who will serve in 2016. Dr. John Chowning, vice president for church and external relations and executive assistant to the president, brought greetings and prayer needs before CRC members. He said that in his 25 years of service to Campbellsville University, he is grateful for the great contributions of the three presidents he's known, Drs. W. R. Davenport, Ken Winters and Carter. A newly formed Outreach Team was introduced as CU forms a dedicated group to work directly with churches. Leaders are Dr. Tony Cunha, dean of the School of Music; Dr. Ted Taylor, director of FIRST CLASS, church outreach and parent relations; and the Rev. Ed Pavy, director of campus ministries. They will be in contact with churches to help as needed to assist with weekend ministry teams, Disciple Now teams, student and/or faculty speakers, faculty-led church ministry training events, student testimonies, athletics ministry and music.
