Transitions Information to possibly include:

1. What a student does during their first three weeks of college sets the pattern for their whole college career in the relationships they establish and the patterns they develop.

Help lay the groundwork for Christlike college experiences by connecting yourself or your students with collegiate ministers through this site.

Once you go to the webpage, enter contact information for yourself or your student. It takes less than three minutes and it will be networked to the campus of your choice!

2. From 75% to 90% of the youth in our Baptist churches have dropped out of church by the time they graduate from college. Of those who don’t drop out in high school many will do so in college.

3. For most college students their college years will be a “make or break” time for their spiritual life.

4. Most college students will make some of the major decisions in life during their college years. This includes their career choice, their choice of a spouse and their choice of the importance of their spiritual life. Having the influence of a Christian collegiate fellowship can greatly help the student with these decisions.
