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

The Big Event

VT's Big Event is on Saturday, April 6, this year, and CCVT is going to be a part of it once again this year.

If you are new to Tech this year and don't already know about the Big Event, it is an annual day of service where Virginia Tech students volunteer throughout the surrounding community. We could be doing anything from helping someone clean their house to doing yard work for a local church. It's a great opportunity to spend time with friends while giving back to the community that helps make this school so amazing. No special skills necessary, just people willing to work and get their hands dirty.

Katherine has already set up a team for us, but if you want to participate you must register to be a part of our team by this Friday, March 22!

Here is how you can sign-up:
1. Go to: www.vtbigevent.org
2. On the left side, click “Click Here to Volunteer”
3. Then click, “Register as an Individual” – the first of the two orange boxes on this page
4. On the Verify Account Type, select “I want to register as an individual.” And click Continue.
5. Fill in the information – name, shirt size, gender, phone, email and password.
6. Important step: On the next page, click “Join team” and select ChristChurchVT.
7. You should be registered.

Katherine says, "I remember we had such a good time volunteering with this event last year. I try and remember to set these kind of things up because I know what great memories I have made in my time here at Tech participating in the service, and I hope to give others that opportunity too!"

Thanks, Katherine, for setting up a team for us.

OK, everybody, we've only got today and tomorrow to register for this. After that you won't be allowed to sign up to participate on our team or anybody else's team. It's just a Big Event deadline that they have to put in place so they know how many people to plan on for printing T-shirts, working with sponsors to gather enough tools and supplies, and figuring out who to assign to what service projects, etc. So don't procrastinate. Register today!

Thanks. Look forward to working with you April 6.
