2015 fall Church Outreach is ongoing at Campbellsville University "Campbellsville University's Church Outreach program is sort of a miracle. We've always had great church relations, thank you, Dr. John Chowning; we've always had great campus ministry, thank you, Rev. Ed Pavy; and we've always had strong Theology and Music Schools, thank you deans, Dr. John Hurtgen and Dr. Tony Cunha." - DR. MICHAEL V. CARTER, President of Campbellsville University Click on headline for complete story with photo(s) By Linda Waggener News from Campbellsville University CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - An expanded 2015-16 Church Outreach program got underway in the Betty Dobbins Heilman House on day one of Campbellsville University's fall semester. Student Life Teams gathered at the August 24, 2015, retreat and began their work of planning Sunday services for church visits scheduled through the end of the year. Church Outreach has 70 complete worship services scheduled between now and Thanksgiving, including A Day of Kingdom Advance on November 1 where CU will provide 26 full services. Dr. Michael V. Carter, president of Campbellsville University, said to supporters at a follow-up appreciation luncheon, "Campbellsville University's Church Outreach program is sort of a miracle. We've always had great church relations, thank you, Dr. John Chowning; we've always had great campus ministry, thank you, Rev. Ed Pavy; and we've always had strong Theology and Music Schools, thank you deans, Dr. John Hurtgen and Dr. Tony Cunha." Vision 2025 was the guiding force that kept the university on track. "We turned to a document created by President Carter and Dr. Chowning," said Church Outreach director Dr. G. Ted Taylor, "a document that had been coordinated by them which included input from faculty, staff and CU trustees. Vision 2025 gave us what would be Church Outreach's three core values: 1 - Christ centered, 2 - church connected, and 3 - changed lives. Church Outreach is simply about expanding on the mission to advance the kingdom of God. This program is just an extension of what happens on this campus every day." Wes Carter: We started in faith . . . Wes Carter, assistant director of Church Outreach, said, "We started in faith for a program of reaching out directly to all churches one year ago. We didn't know what it would look like but we believed, with faith being something we all hope for but we cannot see. We knew that when students are able to have practical ministry experience in actual church settings, they would gain future career networks. We also knew the more students who could serve churches, the greater Christian family could come to know Campbellsville University." President Carter said, "We are excited about the future of the Church Outreach program as an expansion of what Campbellsville University has been building for over a century." Over 800 churhes were served by CU Church Outreach this past year Combining Church Outreach with Church Relations and the Schools of Theology and Music, over 800 churches were served by CU this past year. Just under 500 lives were changed for Jesus Christ. CU students spoke about their experiences at the donor appreciation luncheon, after having had experience serving in non-denominational, Baptist and Methodist churches, noting that all are about growing in God. Tori Hester, a CU sophomore from Henderson, KY, leads one worship team. She said, "When I came to Campbellsville University I was looking for Christ-centered relationships. I felt mostly alone and that nobody really understood me. Thank you Landon Rogers, for bringing me to the first Church Outreach event. I knew then that I belonged. I'm so grateful for the staff and teams, so excited Church Outreach is expanding, and I am truly excited at what the Lord is doing with it." Landon Rogers is a Campbellsville University student from Harrodsburg, KY.
