Campus Ministry serves the students, faculty, and staff of Concordia University Texas, by inviting all to gather, grow and go on mission with Jesus.
No matter who you are, what you believe, how much you know about God or the Bible, or what you have done, we want you to know that you belong here. The love of God is for you. The gift of salvation is a freely given gift for you. Our goal is to walk alongside you and serve you wholeheartedly so that you might meet, know and follow the one who has changed our lives forever, Jesus.
YOU BELONG HERE. Join us.
Watch this short video of Pastor Jake sharing the overall mission and work of Campus Ministry.
We are a passionate group of people who follow the teachings and unforced rhythms
of grace given by Jesus. We are formed into who God desires us to become by three
specific experiences.
GATHER to worship
Jesus invites us to GATHER in a community of friends to meet His presence to worship God. Gather experiences strengthen our relationship with God by forming habits of hearing the Word of God, praying, generosity, baptismal remembrance, showing hospitality, and confessing our sins. Our two main GATHER experiences are the weekly chapel and refuge worship.
GROW in a life group
Jesus invites us to GROW in our relationship with God and other people by being discipled by others. The primary experience in campus ministry to grow in your faith is by joining a life group. A life group is a small group of people who read God’s Word and practice what it says.
GO on a mission trip
Jesus invites us to GO into our daily life to join Him on His mission to help others meet, know and follow Him. Campus ministry offers short-term and long-term experiences in our local Austin community and worldwide.

Chapel 101
Many of you might wonder, “Is chapel really for me?” Yes! We know you will benefit from these gatherings and hope you will join us sometime soon.
(Check out this short video from Pastor Jake about the chapel gathering)
What should I wear? Dress comfortably, casually, and be yourself. However you normally dress, we expect you to come dressed for us to experience the authentic you.
Where should I sit? We want you to feel comfortable. Sit in the back, middle, front, back, sit, stand, or lay on the ground (ok, that might be too far). Please don’t be offended if we come to say hi or hi-five you at the door. Our goal is to make you feel loved and known. And please let us know if there is anything that was just "off" or really "on" for you as you experienced our gatherings.
Can I watch it online? Yes! We stream each service on Youtube.
What goes on during chapel? We will most likely sing, hear a reading from God’s Word, and a trained speaker breaking God’s Word down into biteable parts that can apply to your life. We will spend time praying too. Our goal is to keep the experience to 25 minutes total.
What is #PackTheHouse Wednesdays? After chapel on Wednesdays we offer snacks and drinks for us all to build community and connection. We hope that every seat would be filled on Wednesdays and many would join us online to unify as a community in worship.
