Every single year roughly 70% of youth group grads fall away from the faith because of what happens during the first days on campus. We lose the potential they have to transform universities and the marketplace.
But now, churches are reversing this by connecting students to miniseries, churches and other incoming Christian friends many months before college, and it's being scaled nationally.
A broad coalition of national Ministries and churches are part of this movement to help every student be prepared to know their career purpose and multiply disciples in ESS groups for their Academic Department and Dorms. They learn to change culture on the campus then the workplace. Now we are building a transition to the marketplace and engaging with every Marketplace Ministry since studies indicate that 35% to 59% don't find fellowship in their new city.
The components of this are:
- Selection of Major in High School - Understand who you were made to be, and all the possibilities which could fit. This is also viewed in the context of the 7 Spheres of cultural Influence as outlined by Bill Bright, founder of Cru. Resources including Career Direct are employed as well as helping avoid the Student Debt Crisis.
- Join University Missional Communities for academic departments - Communities are being organized starting with national web training, then planted at universities, and growing to include most academic disciplines. Initial communities will be Entrepreneurial Studies, Communication/Media, and Education because of their impact on society. We are looking for your content and advisors to assist. See an example from Pinnacle Forum. Please contact us to learn more.
- Prepare for transition - Various resources are being created or affiliated with such as Baton Exchange
- Transition into the Marketplace - Connections with marketplace ministries affiliated with the ESS network are being created including a Christian service similar to Indeed for internships and jobs. Right now over a third of Christian college grads don't find community and fall away. Please contact us if you would like your ministry be included.
- Engaging with your Marketplace ministry - We would love to discuss ways that you could provide your content and people who would like to coach students locally or nationally, and ways we can help your ministry by sending you college grads in cities where you operate.
