Spiritual Life at York College

The focus of York Campus Ministries is to help you connect with the Father, Son, and Spirit, as well as with fellow believers.

You can join the York Campus Ministries staff during the school year, or participate in summer, winter, and spring break missions.

Chapel Announcement

York Campus Ministries

 

The Mission of Campus Ministry at York College is to draw students closer to Jesus Christ by offering opportunities to grow in their faith.

The York Campus Ministry team is led by Dr. Sam Garner, director of spiritual development. 
Garner leads a team of student volunteers who work together to impact YC students in the dorms, in daily chapel, in classrooms, and on the playing field. York Campus Ministry is organized to encourage ministry on a student-to-student basis. Not only are students learning more about a relationship with Christ, they are also learning about ministry.

Campus ministries hosts devotionals every Wednesday and a communion service on Sundays, both at 9 p.m. All students are invited to take part in the worship and Bible study offerings on campus, or to connect with campus ministry staff if they have questions or just need someone to talk to.

Overseas Missions

Students at an after school program in Tabacundo, Ecuador, that YC team members will work with.

From a remote village at the foot of a volcano in South America, to an historic metropolis in Europe, the Gospel message will be shared this summer by teams from York College. Two groups of students led by faculty members will heed Jesus’ call to “go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone,” as they travel to Tabacundo, Ecuador, and Korca, Albania. Each group will focus on building relationships between the community and the local church through English lessons and other activities. These mission trips were organized by student leaders in York Campus Ministries, an organization that seeks to minister to students on our campus as well as train students for lives of ministry. 

Nine students are participating in the trip to Ecuador, accompanied by Dr. Terry Seufferlein, professor of Bible, and Catherine Seufferlein, dean of student development. The team will work mostly with children at the public school and in an after-school program provided by the church. 

The team of seven heading to Korca, Albania are led by York Campus Ministries intern Sarah Shafer and Dr. Michael Case, professor of Bible. The team will spend four weeks teaching English and working with the local church on outreach, including a vacation Bible school program. The church in Korca is small and many in the former communist nation are atheists. Dr. Case is looking forward to working in a country where the Gospel is relatively unknown. “I’m hoping to see how excited they are about Christ. It might be newer for them than it is for us. It might help us recharge our own batteries to see how precious the Gospel is to them,” he said.
