Church Outreach
Campbellsville University’s Church Outreach program partners with local, regional, and national churches to equip students for meaningful ministry and service. Through worship teams, mission opportunities, and the Kingdom Advance Network, students gain hands-on experience that strengthens their faith, supports churches, and fosters lifelong servant leadership. This outreach reflects CU’s commitment to Christ-centered education, community engagement, and the Great Commission.
Campbellsville University Church Outreach provides students with practical ministry experience by serving in churches each week. Our mission is to see lives transformed by Christ while maintaining strong connections with churches across Kentucky and beyond.

“I feel the steady growth of the university comes from the fact that we never stray from our commitment to serve and develop servant leaders for Jesus Christ, our spiritual foundation. With Church Outreach, we continuously reconnect and recommit to the local church with eight teams going out every week, bringing new energy.”
– Dr. Michael V. Carter, Former President, Campbellsville University

The Kingdom Advance Network is an expansion of the Campbellsville University Church Relations Council, bringing together a diverse group of ministers, ministries, churches, and church leaders.
Through this network, CU not only provides students with hands-on training in local churches but also strengthens and equips existing churches to fulfill the Great Commission more effectively.
“CU is helping churches equip students for ministry while supporting the broader mission of the church.”
– Choe Sergent, Senior Pastor, Junction City First Baptist Church
