Christian collegiate consulting through Intersect exists to help students and student groups grow in Christ personally, together, and in fresh expressions of ministry that fit the real campus they inhabit. Through intentional discipleship, contextual training, and leadership development, consulting comes alongside students as co-laborers, helping them discern how the gospel can take root in their specific setting and how new ministries can be both faithful and creative. Instead of students being “used” by someone else’s vision, Christian collegiate consulting helps them sit at both the formation table and the leadership decision-making table of any new expression on their campus, shaping its values, practices, and direction from the beginning.

Practically, this means helping students:

• Clarify a shared vision for ministry that flows from Scripture and speaks to the particular needs and questions of their campus.

• Receive discipleship that forms their character, not just their competencies, so that who they are in Christ sustains what they do in ministry.

• Engage in contextual training that takes seriously their campus culture, academic pressures, and diverse backgrounds as they discern next steps.

• Grow in leadership development through coaching, feedback, and real responsibility in planning, leading, evaluating, and adapting ministry efforts.

• Design new expressions of ministry—small groups, outreach events, hospitality spaces, or service initiatives—where students are full partners, not just participants.

We learn to take the stance of humility by:

• Enter campus ministry with humility and a learner’s posture, not as experts dropping in with pre-packaged answers.

• Build bridges between students and local churches so students find a spiritual home, intergenerational mentors, and places to serve.

• Create hospitable, welcoming spaces where students can belong, ask honest questions, and grow in faith together.

• Establish structures of prayer, discernment, and ongoing evaluation so ministries stay responsive to God’s leading and to the real lives of students.
