Campus Ministry Sunday

The South-Central Synod of Wisconsin sponsors three campus ministries, at UW-Madison, UW-Platteville, and UW-Whitewater. Campus Ministry Sunday provides an occasion to highlight campus ministry in prayer, spread the news about campus ministry to your members, and encourage financial support for these programs. To participate, simply complete the form below to indicate which day you plan on organizing Campus Ministry Sunday at your congregation/ministry. Afterwards, the Synod Campus Ministry Oversight Team will contact you to provide liturgical resources and ask if you would like a member of the Synod Campus Ministry Oversight Team to join on your Campus Ministry Sunday.
