In Partnership with The Church of the Incarnation

Ministering to students at James Madison University

Our mission is transforming college students to transform the world. We call college students to serve Jesus Christ with their entire lives by:

• Sharing the Gospel with students and developing passionate disciples of Jesus Christ.
• Serving together with the church and inviting students into the lives of local congregations.
• Giving students a vision for serving Jesus Christ in their studies, jobs, communities, and families.

Our vision is to see a generation of college students transformed by the power of Jesus Christ and His Gospel, in partnership with the local church, reaching the world for the glory of God.

• All things belong to God.
• We love college students.
• We embrace God’s multiethnic kingdom.
• Faithfulness is pursued together.

At the core of CCO ministry is the understanding that God works through the Church to fulfill His purposes in the world. This means the local church is the proper context for gathering, equipping, and sending students into a life‑long Kingdom mission.

Our Partnership model promotes deep collaboration between the CCO and the local church where vision for ministry, ministry strategy, and ministry design are mutually shared. The CCO places Campus Ministry Staff to help mobilize the church to reach students and develop them as future Christian leaders.
