THE WEBSITE Who: College Students. University Students. Students who grew up in a Presbyterian Church. Students who have never stepped foot in a Presbyterian Church. Students who go to Presbyterian Universities. Students who go to any university. Students willing to explore, grow, ask questions, and seek answers about who God is. Why: The purpose of this website is to serve the current need for students to find, connect with, and enrich ministries within the Presbyterian Church (USA) on a local, regional, and national level. We hope that this website will serve that need, especially as it increases dialogue about the technology needed to serve college students within the PC(USA). What: Check out the front page again if you haven't viewed the slideshow that has a good introduction to the different aspects of the website. PSALT This website is an intiative of the Presbyterian Student Advocacy & Leadership Team (PSALT). PSALT is a group of students chosen to represent zeal and enthusiasm about the mission of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) in higher education ministry. The Advocacy and Leadership Team seeks to represent the racial, ethnic and gender diversity of young adults in the Church. The team, in conjunction with several senior friends, touches the lives of college students by advocating at the national events Mission Statement: Guided by the Holy Spirit, the Presbyterian Student Advocacy and Leadership Team provides connections for students with churches and campus ministries so that those students may become faithful disciples of Christ in ministries related to the PCUSA. PSALT will be a team of college students and adults engaged in college ministry that will have two main intentions: 1. Help Presbyterian young people transition from high school to college by connecting them to, and encouraging them to become active in, local Presbyterian congregations or ministries in their college community. 2. Assist PCUSA congregations in becoming attractive and available to college students in their community as well as their members who are away pursuing a college education. |
