crm forges partnerships that are…

Christ Centered
Jesus is the head of the church. We unite to exalt Him, to seek Him, and to make Him known.

“And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.” Colossians 1:18

Transformation Focused
God’s vision to transform college campuses is bigger than any one ministry. We partner in mission to see God’s glory known on campus and beyond.

“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2:14

Relationship Driven
The depth of our relationships must match the breadth of our vision for transformation. We value one another and need one another. We humble ourselves before one another, consider each other better than ourselves, and look to other’s interests above our own.

“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:3-4

Presence Propelled
Campus transformation begins by inviting God’s presence to the campus. We need God’s presence on our campus to see it transformed, so we pray and wait for God to do the work.

“For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.” II Corinthians 4:5-6

Purity Prescripted
God will not bring transformation until the body of Christ repents from its sins. We seek holiness, love, humility, character, and personal transformation.

“…if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14

Mission directed
Mission will always flow out of Christ-centered, transformation-focused relationships and prayer. As we pray together asking God for transformation, we also listen for and obey the Holy Spirit’s direction toward collaborative mission.

“While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.’ So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.” Acts 13:2-3
