This is the fourth annual Higher Things conference for those engaged in campus ministry. Whether you are already doing campus ministry or are just getting started; whether you are a full- or part-time campus pastor, a town & gown pastor, a DCE, a DCO, or an interested layperson, this conference is for you.
We are pleased to have not two, but three outstanding speakers who will address different topics important to campus ministry:
Dr. John Stephenson
Full Professor of Historical Theology Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary, St. Catharines, Ontario
"Pastoral Care and the Sacraments on Campus"
Dr. Robert Gagnon
Associate Professor of New Testament, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, PA
"The Homosexualist Agenda on Campus and in the Classroom"
Rev. Larry Nichols
Our Redeemer Evangelical Lutheran Church, Smithfield, RI & Campus Chaplain at Rhode Island College, Providence, RI
"The Challenge of Cults and the Occult in the College Context"
In addition to a pre-conference workshop on campus ministry basics, there will be lots of opportunities to share ideas and resources with others at the forefront of campus ministry. And, of course, there will be plenty of chances to socialize and simply get to know others with whom you will be able to network long after you have returned home. Plus, Pittsburgh is a great town! You won't want to miss Christ on Campus IV!

Dear everyone,
As the campus ministry arm of Higher Things, Christ on Campus seeks to connect high-school and college age youth with faithful Lutheran campus ministries and assist congregations and campus ministries in their faithful service to Lutheran college students.
We are pleased to unveil what we believe will be a key component in doing just that!
CHRIST ON CAMPUS CHAPTERS
http://higherthings.org/campus/chapters.html
Connect with other Lutheran campus ministries committed to providing Biblical and Confessional catechesis, solid liturgical practice, and faithful pastoral care.
Who is eligible to become a Christ on Campus Chapter?
Any Lutheran congregation or campus ministry organization may apply to become a Higher Things Christ on Campus Chapter. Those who might consider joining the Christ on Campus Chapter network include:
- Full-time campus ministries
- Congregations committed to part-time campus ministry and outreach at their local college, university, community college, or vocational institute
- Other campus ministry related organizations
- Groups desirous of planting a campus outreach where none presently exist
Please go to http://higherthings.org/campus/chapters.html to learn more about Christ on Campus Chapters and download an application.
