IBSA Campus Ministry is focused on making disciples on the college campuses across our state. To accomplish this vision, we work both with ministries on campuses and those based in local churches.

Our campus ministers exist to:

• Broadly sow the gospel on Illinois college and university campuses,
• Develop student disciple makers,
• Provide a platform for local churches to engage college and university campuses, and
• Connect students to local churches and the greater IBSA family.

Each summer since 1997, Beloit College releases a list of facts and opinions about the generation of young adults who would be entering college in the fall. Perhaps you’ve seen it mentioned in the paper or on the television news. They call this list "The Mindset List" and rightly so as it captures what are inevitably key influences on the way these young people perceive reality.

Here is contact information for those in the IBSA family who are reaching out to college and university students through campus-based ministries. If you're a current or future college student, feel free to contact these individuals to learn how to get involved on your campus that you might grow in Christ and impact your campus community with the Gospel.

If your church is involved with ministering to college students, please contact us so that we might add you to the list.
