90% of all campus ministries have some form of small groups
Campus ministers are finding students with less developed leadership skills and general maturity. College is no longer a great step into adulthood, but an extension of adolescence.
Nearly 10% of all groups did not exist three years ago.
Students often hold conflicting viewpoints simultaneously. On the one hand, they are optimistic, passionate and eager to volunteer their time for a cause; yet also apathetic, self-focused, and cynical – especially toward the church. They are “spiritual, but not religious”, into Jesus but not the church.
