We at Higher Things have been dedicated since 2006 to supporting a network of faithful campus ministries through our Christ on Campus Chapter program. We are thrilled that after five years we are now partnering with sixty-three
chapters in twenty-eight states.
However, we realize that there are many more places that could be ripe for campus outreach throughout The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod and many, many more congregations that may be interested in partnering with us in this way.
- Are you looking for ways to expand your congregation's outreach in the community?
- Is your congregation near a four year college or community college? (Over half of all college students in the U.S. attend a community college)
- Are you already engaged in campus outreach and would like to become a part of our chapter network?
- Do you want to explore starting something from scratch at a local college or university?
- Would you like to send a signal to college students that if they attend a college near you that your doors are open to them?
If any of the above applies to you, we would like to dare you to accept our CHALLENGE and dialogue with us about how you might become a Christ on Campus Chapter of Higher Things for a college campus near you.
Please learn more about how you can become a Christ on Campus Chapter here.
Is your congregation up to the challenge? Let's talk!

Dear everyone,
We had a tremendous Christ on Campus Conference in Boulder in late May! Thanks to Pastor Burhop, everyone else at ULC and Rocky Mountain DP (Rev. Randy Golter) and 1VP (Rev. Allen Anderson) for joining us and preaching.
Now it's time to hit the road. 'll be at all three summer Coram Deo Conferences, so track me down, say hello, stop by the table, etc. If you are interested in starting a campus ministry or learning how to join our growing network of Christ on Campus Chapters, let's find time and talk! Safe travels to everyone!

A blessed Holy Week to all of you!
As many of you have perhaps heard, the property associated with one of our Christ on Campus Chapters,
University Lutheran Chapel (ULC)
in Minneapolis, is being recommended to be sold by the
Minnesota South District, in spite of the fact that ULC is one of the oldest and most respected LCMS campus ministries and is nearly self-sufficient.
ULC has served as a beacon for all of the rest of us doing campus ministry for countless years. Its influence and campus ministry legacy is simply legion.
We at Higher Things stand by ULC and encourage your support in the following ways:
-
Pray for our brothers and sisters at ULC, including Rev. David Kind and all his students that they might not despair, and that God would give them strength.
- Get familiar with all the source materials and information about ways to help at http://ulcmn.org.
- Support all the campus ministries of the Synod, which like ULC, serve young people at a very vulnerable time in their life and when so many fall away from the faith.
Though we are all grieved by this recommended action and we pray it does not take place, may we all turn our focus to Christ and His Word especially during the remainder of this most holiest of all weeks. That is what ULC is all about. It is what campus ministry should be about, and it certainly is what Christ on Campus and Higher Things is about!
May God sustain Pastor Kind and all the faithful at ULC and may He be with all of you who seek to confess Christ on campuses everywhere in these gray and latter days.
Let us not forget that our gracious God has a blessed habit of turning such things (all things) into good. This week, quite literally, is the ultimate reminder of just that!
