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

Food, Fun, Worship and Prayer, More Food and Fellowship, Bible Study and Friends, and the List Goes On

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 so many 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 calendar 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 main weekly meeting called "Oasis".

Hope to see you soon. Here's what's coming up. (All these events are FREE and happen at our campus house unless stated otherwise.)

F Aug. 24, 4pm -- Pizza Party -- with homemade desserts, and soda, of course. We also have some games planned: We'll have the volleyball net up, ladder ball, boche, and some new twists on some old games to make things really interesting. We don't want to ruin the surprise, but just as an example, one of the games involves a tennis ball, a sheet, and one of the aforementioned games. But no special athletic ability is required.

Sat. Aug. 25, 11am -- Pancake Brunch -- complete with sausage, fruit, and more. 


Sun. Aug. 26, 10:15am -- Come to church with us! We'll meet at our campus house and 
carpool to Belmont Christian Church about 10:25am. We'll even have some fruit and donuts for you to snack on while we wait for everyone to arrive. Bring some lunch money along, too, if you want to go out to eat for lunch with us. We'll drop you off on campus if you'd rather eat on campus or just go back to your dorm. 

Wed. Aug. 29, 6:15pm -- Spaghetti Dinner before Oasis -- complete with garlic bread, dessert, etc.


Wed. Aug. 29, 7:15pm -- Oasis Bible Study -- our main weekly meeting!

Sat. Sept. 1, 7pm -- Build Your Own Banana Split night -- Be the architect of your own edible masterpiece! Besides the food, we'll also play some really fun, unique games.

Sun. Sept. 2, 10:15am -- Fresh fruit and donuts at the campus house again, then carpool to Belmont Christian Church about 10:25am. We will go out for lunch together again for those who are interested.

Mon. Sept. 3, 8pm -- Those without tickets to the Georgia Tech vs. VT football game are invited to watch the game at the campus house on our large projection screen.

Wed. Sept. 5, 7:15pm -- Oasis Bible Study -- our main weekly meeting, remember?

Fri. Sept. 7, 7pm -- Squirrel Day! -- The unusual story behind this mysterious name will be revealed at this creative event in memory of our fallen comrade of the tree tops. Plans include a squirrel scavenger hunt, other games, dessert, and drinks.

We also have small group Bible studies during the week. The meeting times for those are yet to be determined based on which nights work best for the most people, but we will be starting those the first or second week of classes. If you would like to let us know which nights work for you, please do! Your choices are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday, probably sometime around 7pm. Girls, please email Stacey at WOWgirlVT@gmail.com. Guys, email Steve at CHRISTatVT@vt.edu. 

Thanks, and hope to see you soon!
