Storyboard Episode 65

Storyboard: Faith Witness Transformation is a podcast highlighting ministries across the East Ohio Conference of The United Methodist Church that are transforming lives locally, nationally, and globally.

Produced twice-a-month by EOC Communications, each podcast episode focuses on one of the core values of the #BeUMC campaign: Disciple Making; Belonging & Inclusion; Influence, Connection & Impact; and Experience of God through The United Methodist Church.

In Episode 65 “Campus Ministry: Reaching the Seeking Generation” we feature a roundtable discussion with Rev. Dr. Tim Morrison, University of Mount Union chaplain, and UMC Berea Pastor Dr. Stephen Knisely and Campus Minister Judy Hammer to discuss how churches and universities are connecting students to Jesus.

Morrison offered, “On a weekly basis we have somewhere between 350 and 400 individual students that are interacting with spiritual life in some way or another. It’s almost a quarter of the student body.”

Hammer shared that “college students are waiting and wanting authentic conversation with their peers around faith. They want to have engaged conversations, and hopefully along that journey there’s the right moment of invitation to come to the church. But a lot of it’s happening outside the church walls.”
