Thank you for wanting to keep PC(USA) Collegiate Ministry healthy—even alive.

Not long ago in a presbytery or synod near you, money was routinely allocated to support the collegiate ministries serving the Presbyterian Church. That does not happen as much any more. Campus ministers and their Boards are hard at work developing funds to operate and even to survive. The national church’s Collegiate Ministries Office has seen a huge decline in funds available for it to provide national events for students and staff.
