Student Life Australia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Student Life Australia is the university ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ Australia. is present on 15 campuses in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland with 60 full-time staff and affiliates. Staff serve in a variety of ways - in teams on individual campuses, in teams on a city wide basis, over distance with key volunteers, with international students and in facilitation, co-ordination and administration roles in our head office.

Student Life's aim is to give every student on each campus the opportunity to hear and respond to a clear and attractive presentation of the gospel. Student Life focuses on evangelism and discipleship.

Student Life runs:

Weekly meetings where students can learn about Christianity, gather for fellowship and develop their relationship with God
Christianity Explained courses for students who are interested in learning about Christianity
Small groups where students are able to study the Bible and meet other students who are at a similar stage of life
One on one mentoring times where a staff member or older student will mentor a younger student in their faith
Conferences
Summer Projects (short term mission opportunities)

At conferences students receive training in different aspects of ministry (small group leadership, evangelism, building movements, leading Christianity Explained courses etc.) as well as Biblical input and fellowship with students from many different university campuses. Student Life aims to train student to be able to tell their friends and people they meet about Jesus.

Students involved in Student Life also have opportunities to become involved as leaders in an organisation. Leadership training is provided for students with on-the-job experience of planning social events, campus wide outreaches, weekly meetings, and other events.

Student Life is a non profit organisation and receives funding from people who are interested in the ministry and the work that is happening there.

Student Life is not a church but a place for students at university to meet in order to learn from each other and find out about Christianity in a non threatening environment. Students who are involved in Student Life are encouraged to be part of a church outside university for continued Biblical input and growth opportunities.

Student Life's vision is to have "A ministry for every campus; the gospel for each student".
