Welcome to KCU Reach, a dynamic program designed to foster partnerships between KCU students and local churches and camps. Our goal is to equip students to serve alongside established ministries, making a meaningful impact in our communities.

Through KCU Reach, students have the opportunity to engage in various outreach activities, including summer camp teams, youth retreats, lock-ins, Sunday morning volunteer work, and more. These experiences allow students to connect with others, share their faith, and contribute to the Kingdom of God in tangible ways.

At Kentucky Christian University, we take great pride in our outreach teams. Each member is carefully selected based on their passion for ministry and service. These students are not only equipped to represent KCU through speaking engagements and promotional efforts but are also trained to effectively support and enhance existing ministries.

Join us as we empower students to make a difference, spread the love of Christ, and advance the Kingdom through KCU Reach.

 

REACH Teams

These teams are intentionally selected students who share a heart for ministry and to serve. These students are also prepared to promote KCU whether by speaking or setting up a booth. However, most importantly, our outreach teams are trained and equipped to come alongside ministers to enhance the Kingdom of God.

These teams are students who have a heart for ministry and to serve, specifically within a summer camp setting. We send teams throughout the summer all along the East Coast to spread the Gospel to teenagers at Christian summer camps. These students go through an extensive training period to be properly equipped to minister to teens from all walks of life. This ministry is one of KCU’s most consistent and fruitful ministry traditions.

Investment of Time, Prayer, and Love

“I’ll never forget how the Bible and Ministry professors at KCU cared about me as a person. They didn’t just see me as a student number. They invested time, prayer, and love into my life and my ministry, and I’m eternally thankful for their influence.”

Sean Plank, Class of 2010
