The great news is – you don’t have to do this alone! There are other followers of Christ at your school that you can work with to reach your friends for Christ. We would love to help you connect with a campus ministry at your school or connect you with an organization near you that can help you start one!
Below are some of the ministries out there that we connect students with to get campus clubs started in their schools...

If there's not a campus ministry at your school…
1. Ask your youth pastor for help and ask churches to pray for you.
2. Find other Christian students who want to start a club with you.
3. Find a teacher who will sponsor your club.
4. Decide what day and time your club will meet.
5. Write a letter to your principal requesting permission to start the club.
6. Create a club constitution – purpose of the club and how it will work.
7. Get a copy of the Equal Access Act if your principal doesn’t respond favorably
8. Advertise your club’s first meeting
All of the campus ministries pictured here can help you get a club started at your school as well!
If there already is a campus ministry at your school…
you need a strategy. A Christian Club at school should focus on evangelism - it is a gathering of students who consider themselves to be campus missionaries and want to share Jesus with their friends. Your meetings should have 3 elements -
1. PRAYER - do something to help you focus on God together
2. CARE - do something to encourage each other
3. SHARE - make plans to share God's love in your school
A few other tips for making your club effective…
1. Know your purpose and talk about it
2. Create a leadership team (we recommend four people)
3. Make your meetings consistent (same day, time, place every week)
4. Use a structured meeting format
5. Stay focused on your mission
6. Prepare for leadership transition
