​

Make a Financial Gift
Unlike a traditional congregational ministry, college ministry cannot be sustained by offerings from our students.  As a result, we rely on the support of congregations to help make this ministry possible.  Please consider making a one time financial gift or an ongoing commitment to support campus ministry. Click here to make a gift online.

 

Refer Students
​If students from your congregation are headed off to college, let us know!  If they are studying in the New York City area, we'll invite them to participate in VCM. If they are headed elsewhere, we can help them connect with a welcoming, inclusive campus ministry near them.  

​

Host a Campus Ministry Sunday
​The VCM team would love to come visit your congregation or church council to preach or give a presentation on campus ministry.  This is a great time to pray for students, host an adult forum, hear a testimonial from a student, or take an offering to support our work.  Email us to set up a date.  

 

Feature Village Campus Ministry on your website & in your bulletin announcements
Village Campus Ministry serves students all around the city and we need your help to make sure students hear about it.  Please consider putting a campus ministry blurb into your weekly printed announcements and listing Village Campus Ministry on your website under campus ministry. Let us know if you need us to send you any logos!

 

Become a Partner Congregation
Our ministry relies upon the support and partnership of congregations across the greater New York area. Partner congregations commit to accompanying us in ministry to college students. They provide financial support, commit to regular prayer for students, host annual campus ministry Sundays, and seek to find other ways to support students.  Please let us know if you would like to learn more about becoming a Partner Congregation. 

 

Share your gifts and connections
Do you have expertise in an area that you think would be of interest to college students?  Do you work with a local service or justice organization that would be just perfect to partner with Village?   Would you enjoy cooking or baking something tasty for one of our neighborhood dinners?  Please let us know!

 

Send a team to Trivia Night
Compete with students and other congregational teams in a friendly battle of trivial knowledge at our annual Trivia Night Fundraiser in February!  It is a fun night for a good cause.
