Great Commission Ministries & New Life Church

The vision:

• Turn students at the University of Michigan into fully devoted followers of Christ
• Train students to share the gospel and help them mature in their faith.
• Share their faith with others and follow Christ for the rest of their lives, not just during their college years.

Since most University of Michigan students graduate and leave Ann Arbor to start their careers all over the globe, they believe their vision to reach students at U of M will have an impact for Christ all over the world.

Their intent is to fulfill the following Six God-sized Faith Projects that Great Commission Ministries and New Life Church have set forth:

• 2000 students in large-group attendance -  Large-group attendance includes worship services, as well as dorm and campus-wide events. The aim is 10% of the undergrad student population which is roughly 2400 undergraduates
• 1000 students in small groups - To make disciples of those who attend New Life - 1000 students in life-changing small groups.
• 210 professions of faith per year - To see people saved daily like they did in Acts 2:46-47.  210 would be a student saved every day over two 15-week semesters.
• 50 full-time workers - To continue recruiting full-time workers with a goal of having 5-10 new recruits every year remain in Ann Arbor for training and future church-planting
• Raise $3.3 million - To allow for the completion and endowment of the campus ministry center.
• Develop a world-class staff-training program - Together with GCM, to develop a world-class staff-training program that will equip staff for a lifetime of service to Christ and success in whatever ministry they pursue.

Advent provides prayer & financial support.
