Description

Many college ministries have an emphasis on reaching first year students at the beginning of a new school year. 

But how do you do this in the era of face masks, social distancing, and online classes? 

The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, where David leads a campus ministry started earlier than usual this year. 

As a forerunner, with this early start of this academic year, David has some remarkably helpful perspective and experience on how to start a new school year in the era of COVID-19 restrictions.

Whether you are preparing for the start of a new year on your campus or already started but need some fresh ideas and renewed perspective, this episode will help.


Topics Discussed

• How do you meet and connect with students with social distancing, masks, and fear of contagion?
• What strategies are helpful for new student outreach this very unusual school year?
•  Leading amidst various (sometimes conflicting) expectations, desires, and concerns of staff members and students related to COVID-19.
• Why having a long-term perspective is important when leading through a situation that’s delivering immediate pain to your ministry.
• The theological basis for issues of conscience.
