As universities & student behaviour significantly changes in some places, CUs need to be open to the fact that its desired outcomes may not necessarily be done/be done best in an integrated, church-style, campus-focussed ministry of small groups, Bible talks & conferences…
But we need to ask how to best achieve these outcomes, even if the model is a bit more fragmented/restructured. These outcomes are:
- Context for broad, inter-church young adults networks.
- Deep, immersive coming of age discipleship/input and worldview/apologetics formation beyond already-resourced churches.
- Recruitment ground/training context for Christian leaders.
- Evangelism/centre for public Christianity.
- Others?
Also CUs might have to make strategic decisions about priorities, including and which of these are most need to be organised to reach the largest number of students possible.
