Welcome to Tech, new Hokies! My name is Steve Wilkin and I'm the Campus Minister at Christ's Church at VT campus ministry (CCVT).
Maybe you've clicked through to our blog from VT's events calendar, were referred to our site by a friend, or just found us through a Google search. Regardless of how you ended up here, thanks so much for your interest in CCVT.

CCVT believes that God is real, the Bible is true, and Jesus in alive! We are a Bible believing group of students saved by grace and striving to love God and love people. We dig deep into God's Word to apply it to our lives, and we also spend a good amount of time just hanging out, laughing and having fun.
CCVT is more than just another student organization, or place to go to church --CCVT is a place where students build lifelong friendships and get the support we all need to thrive. We take the time to really care about each other and build one another up in our walk with God.
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 (right by the dorms, just one block over from Washington St. by the tennis courts) for our main weekly meeting called "Oasis".
We also have small group Bible studies at various times during the week. And you are welcome to catch a ride to church with us on Sunday mornings.
Here's what's coming up! (All these events are FREE and happen at our campus house.)
Thursday, Aug. 21, 7pm -- Ice Cream, Games, and Godzilla -- Just a laid back "get to know ya" gathering at our campus house. And btw, Godzilla isn't invited. ;-) But after we hang out for a bit at the campus house we'll walk down to the drillfield to watch the movie "Godzilla" together outside. If it ends up raining we might just watch a movie at the campus house or something.
Sunday, Aug. 24, 10:15am -- Catch a ride to church with us! We'll meet at our campus house and carpool to Belmont Christian Church. Bring some money along too, if you want to go out to eat for lunch with us afterward.
Monday, Aug. 25, 7:15pm -- Guys' Bible Study -- just a bunch of guys getting together to pray for each other and study God's word every Monday. Come join us!
Wednesday, Aug. 27, 6:15pm -- Spaghetti Dinner before Oasis -- Yeah, we like food at CCVT, but more than that, we love people. And sitting down to enjoy some good spaghetti together is a great way to get to know each other and make some new friends in the process. Afterwards, at 7:15pm, you can join us for our main weekly Bible Study which we like to call "Oasis."
Wednesday, Aug. 27, 7:15pm -- Oasis -- "Oasis" is CCVT's main weekly gathering dedicated to Bible Study, group discussion, sharing with friends, and prayer. Invite your friends and come join us!
Friday, Aug. 29, 7pm -- Frosty Parrot -- Bring a few dollars and meet up at the campus house at 7pm. We'll walk to Frosty Parrot together. It's this great little frozen yogurt shop downtown.
Saturday, Aug. 30, 12 noon -- Tailgate Party! -- Pulled pork, hot dogs, and all kinds of sides to fuel you up for the Hokies' first game of the season against William and Mary. Be sure to bring a friend with you.
Sunday, Aug. 31, 10:15am -- Catch a ride to church with us again -- We may even have some of Blacksburg's famous Carol Lee donuts before we head to church. We've been known to do that from time to time on Sunday mornings. We'll probably go out for lunch together again.
Sunday, Aug. 31, 7pm -- Girls' Bible Study -- a very friendly (not clique-ish!) group of girls that supports one another in applying God's word to their lives.
Like I said, all these events will be, or at least begin, at our campus house over by the dorms, one block over from Washington St. by the tennis courts. For most of you, that's closer than your classes! For a map and simple directions, just look on the right side of your screen below the photo of our campus house.
If you have any questions just call me at 540-552-8292 or email me at CHRISTatVT@vt.edu. I'd be glad to answer them for you.
Thanks again and I look forward to meeting you soon!
Steve
