Christian collegiate consulting through Intersect helps denominations and para-church organizations start campus expressions with a posture of humility, deep dependence on the Spirit, and genuine partnership with students and local churches. Rather than importing a prepackaged model, this approach emphasizes contextual discernment, discipleship, training, and leadership development so that new ministries grow out of the campus soil itself. Consultants come not as experts taking over, but as guides who help organizations and students share both the formation table and the leadership decision-making table for each new expression of ministry.

Key considerations:

• Begin with prayerful discernment and listening before strategy, honoring what God is already doing on the campus.

• Approach the campus as guests, not owners, entering with humility and a learner’s posture toward students, faculty, and existing ministries.

• Prioritize contextual design, shaping ministry practices around the real culture, questions, and rhythms of the specific campus.

• Keep discipleship central, forming students’ character and theological depth alongside skills and roles.

• Invest in leadership development that gives students real responsibility and a voice in vision, planning, and evaluation.

• Build strong, cooperative relationships with local churches so students are rooted in intergenerational worship and community, not just a campus silo.

Our consulting stance:

• Come alongside denominations and para-church organizations as partners who listen first and suggest second.

• Help leaders and students co-create new expressions of ministry where students sit at both the formation and leadership tables.

• Coach teams in cultivating hospitable, welcoming spaces that invite honest questions, shared life, and mission together.

• Guide organizations in clarifying a simple, gospel-centered purpose for their campus work that aligns with their convictions yet remains flexible in expression.

• Support ongoing reflection and adaptation so campus expressions stay responsive to changing student needs and opportunities over time.
