On campus
Fewer young adults go to church every year, so we preach the gospel boldly on college campuses, where students arrive from all over the world.
In the church
Each year our churches train college men and women as leaders, and help them grow closer to Jesus and more like Him.
After graduation
Graduates take their faith into engineering firms, hospitals, schools, businesses, the arts and public service, joining and strengthening local churches wherever they move.

Join us in reaching college students with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Your gift supports evangelism, leadership development and church planting through local churches on the college campus.
If you want to work with college students, you can join the staff of a Collegiate church full time or part time, or start with a residency.
If your church is reaching and discipling college students or wants to begin, we’d love to get to know you and explore how we could serve together.
Hear from pastors, campus missionaries, students and field experts as they share stories, fresh insights and honest conversations about reaching the next generation, developing leaders and building healthy churches.
The Collegiate Church Network is a network of 18 autonomous local churches on US college campuses in nine states, including the University of Michigan, Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Texas A&M, UCF and the University of Arizona.
Each church preaches the gospel on its campus, trains college men and women as leaders, and sends graduates out to serve through local churches wherever they move. The churches share a common statement of faith and five ministry values. They meet at two national conferences each year, gather regionally for support and share resources so they can learn from each other.
Executive Director Jason Bennett, a pastor at New Life Church in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has led the network since January 2019. Collegiate staff are employed through Reliant Mission, an ECFA-accredited mission agency that also processes gifts.
The network's vision is a gospel-centered church on every campus.
There are 18 Collegiate churches, serving universities in three regions. The North region includes the University of Michigan and Western Michigan University. The East region includes Ohio State, Virginia Tech and the University at Buffalo. The West region includes Texas A&M, UT San Antonio and the University of Arizona. The church directory lists every church and campus.
The church directory at collegiatechurchnetwork.com/churches maps all 18 Collegiate churches by region and lists each one with the university it serves. Each listing links to the church's own website, where you can find service times and student gatherings. If your school is not listed, email info@collegiate.church.
Leadership Training brings college students together for a summer of work, worship, community and mission. Grow closer to Jesus, practice leadership in everyday life, and return ready to serve your campus and local church. Programs run at Silver Bay YMCA on Lake George in New York and at YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado. Leadership Training is run by Collegiate Church Network and administered by Reliant Mission.
You can give online through Reliant Mission or through the National Christian Foundation. Both are ECFA accredited. You can also give by phone at 877-614-4600, by mail, or through stock, cryptocurrency or a donor-advised fund.
Churches that share the vision to reach and disciple college students can ask about joining by emailing Executive Director Jason Bennett at jason.bennett@collegiate.church.
