Help Christion Union Secure a Ministry Center at Dartmouth

Prayerfully consider giving toward securing a Ministry Center for Dartmouth. The Ministry Center will be used by campus Christian ministries for fellowship, meals, Bible studies, prayer, training, and administrative work.

The Need

Students at Dartmouth are in desperate need of Christian outreach and influence. These students, who will one day lead and shape culture, need to be developed and connected as transformative godly leaders. Christian Union intervenes in the lives of these young men and women to provide Christian leadership training to prepare them—by God’s grace—to lead for God’s glory. The ministry envisions a spiritually vibrant Columbia blessing the world for generations to come.

As Christian Union works to see this vision become reality, there is the urgent need to establish a ministry center adjacent to campus. A ministry centers establishes a permanent Christian presence and a visible welcoming space for the University’s students, staff, and faculty interested in learning about the Christian faith and experiencing a community of believers. It provides space for biblical teaching, leadership training and mentorship, and personal and intercessory prayer. Christian Union urgently needs room to minister to students and office its faculty.

Christian Union ministry fellows open their homes to students, but these too are constrained. It is not uncommon for the Dartmouth ministry director and his family to host an outreach in their very small apartment that is attended by more than 100 students over the course of the evening.

Crucially, in a time when Christian ministries can face discrimination on campus, ministry centers reduce Christian Union’s dependency on the universities’ administrations for securing space.

for Christian Leadership at Princeton

Located at 19 Vandeventer Avenue, The Robert L. Melrose Center for Christian Leadership serves Christian Union's ongoing work to develop Christian leaders at Princeton.

The Melrose Center provides offices for Christian Union's ministry faculty and serves as a home base for alumni and student activities, including Bible courses, leadership training, mentoring appointments, prayer, and Reunions gatherings.

The building, just one block from campus, is a Princeton landmark, an 18th century center-hall Colonial originally built on Nassau Street in 1780 and moved to its current location in 1887.

The Center honors the memory of Robert Lumley Melrose, Princeton Class of 1954.

at Yale University

The James W.C. Pennington Center has been significantly strengthening Christian witness and influence at Yale since 2014. Located at 31 Whitney Avenue, the property is one block from Timothy Dwight Hall and two blocks from Cross-campus.

The Pennington Center is a resource for Yale students, faculty and staff to learn about the Christian worldview. The center provides office and meeting space for fellowship, biblical teaching, leadership training, mentorship, and personal and intercessory prayer.

Unlock Yale’s Potential

Currently the ministry rents out the first floor to offset the mortgage costs on the facility.

With the full use of the Center, Christian Union will not need to use campus facilities for many ministry events and will not be hindered if the university should discriminate, as in 2012 when it stripped the BYX Christian fraternity of official recognition (Christian Union helped students to regain recognition).
