We make followers of Jesus and help his followers grow

Christ’s Church at Virginia Tech campus ministry

is a non-denominational Christian community of students who:

--believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God

--believe the Bible is the infallible Word of the one and only true God, and therefore embrace it as our first & final authority for faith & practice as it contains all the truth needed for salvation and living in Christ. (2 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 4:12)

--strive to put our faith in action, to keep growing in our knowledge and love for God, and to transform our world by living as Jesus lived. (James 2:14-26, Colossians 1:9-12, Romans 12:1-2)

"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." -- Isaiah 40:8

Welcome to VT!

If you are new to VT, we want you to know you are welcome to make CCVT campus ministry your home away from home, just like hundreds of students have before you. You see, CCVT is more than just another student organization, or place to go to church. For years, CCVT has been a place where students build some of the best friendships they have ever had with other Christian students, and in the process get the support we all need to make the adjustment to college life and get the most out of our college years. We don't just "clock-in, and clock-out" of church. We take the time to really care about each other and build one another up in the faith and in our walk with God. We want to do that for you, too, and we hope you will be a good friend to us, as well.

Since that is such a big part of what we are all about, we do a lot of fun events together, especially at the beginning of the school year, so we can all meet each other and get to know one another. Below is a list of the events we have planned for the beginning of the fall semester. Please make a note of these on your Google Calendar, Outlook, or whatever you use, and make plans to join us. We are really looking forward to meeting you and getting to know you.

Also, don't forget to join us Wednesday nights at 7:15pm at our campus house for our weekly worship service called "Oasis".

Hope to see you soon. Here's what's coming up:

August 19, Friday, 5pm -- Party at the campus house -- Plans include some laid back games of Corn Hole, Ladder Ball and such, plenty of free pizza, and a bunch of new games you've probably never played before that we think you'll have a lot of fun learning and playing.

August 20, Saturday, 12:30pm -- Pancake Brunch & VT Football Scrimmage.

August 22, Monday, 7:15pm -- Guys' small group Bible study

August 24, Wednesday, 7:15pm -- Oasis Worship

August 27, Saturday, 7pm -- Build Your Own Banana Split & games

August 29, Monday, 7:15pm -- Guys' Gel Group

August 31, Wednesday, 7:15pm -- Oasis Worship

The girls will be deciding when the Girls' small group Bible study will meet based on what time works best for as many girls as possible, so that day and time is TBD (to be determined). Email WOWgirlVT@gmail.com if you are interested in coming to this Bible study and would like to say which days and times work best for you, or if you'd just like to be notified when the girls will meet once that decision is made.

All these events will take place at CCVT's campus house. Need directions? That's easy. Just look at the top right side of your screen.
