In our Campus Ministry, among our primary goals is to continually better understand what we believe.  Such understanding is reflected in internal growth brought to expression in our lives as we relate to one another and as we bear witness to Christ in our community.  One of the ways we grow in our understanding is by being honest about our struggles and in our wrestling with difficult questions.  Thus, during our weekly Friday night (@ 7 pm) meeting at Ransomed, already we have discussed the presence of evil in the world (and in us) in light of God’s goodness.  This fall, we will continue to tackle difficult questions, such as the exclusivity of Christ, the judgment of God, the trustworthiness of the Bible and the interaction between scientific knowledge and commitment to Christ.   

Ransomed is not only a time of teaching and discussion about things that really matter.  As an expression of the rich truths we profess, we gather in a relaxed setting where we eat and drink, renewing and developing genuine relationships.  We also sing together, led by talented musicians.  Ransomed runs until about midnight on Friday and is a place where all are welcome to hang out and to become a part of a community of seekers and travelers who are at different points of Spiritual discovery and exploration.  

In our community, we are thankful that God hasn’t left us to ourselves and the limits of our imaginations but made himself known, definitively in the person of Christ.  We look forward to studying the revelation of God and his saving acts in history through the book of Exodus in SMASH (10 am on Sundays) over the next several months.  

Our ministry exists not just for own sake but in order to serve the IUP and Indiana communities.  This fall, we anticipate our interaction with IUP to include extending invitations to Ransomed to those who hold opposing viewpoints.  We will respectfully listen in order to understand what they believe and further demonstrate our care and respect by articulating Christ’s truth and love. 

We look forward to continuing our traditional Midnight Mission onto the IUP campus the Friday of homecoming weekend.  This entails our distributing food and hot chocolate (mmm…chocolate…) to hungry (and sometimes inebriated) students beginning at midnight.  Such an action points to, and is done on behalf of, the God of creation who is the giver of every good gift, and the God of redemption who gives us the real Spiritual food and drink that we must have in order to truly live.

As those who embody Christ to our community we intend to reach out and serve the poor and marginalized.  This is in keeping with Christ’s mission to the world, which involves his comprehensive rescue and renewal of all creation through his death and resurrection.  He privileges us by calling us to follow him in his kingdom-building mission that sets free the captives of every race, people group, ethnicity and language, including us. 

 

We invite you to come and see.
