The Campus Ministry Day at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School is an annual conference which brings together campus ministers, seminary faculty and students for a time of theological reflection and practical dialogue. This day-long event includes lectures and discussion groups aimed at providing biblical wisdom on issues relevant to college and university students. The goal of this partnership between frontline campus ministers and theological educators is to enrich one another’s ministries to the next generation of students.
