COMPASSION

Compassion

Kettering College prepares students to serve and meet the needs of a hurting world, not only after they graduate, but right here and right now. Through local outreach projects and worldwide mission trips, Campus Ministries provides students with plenty of opportunities to serve. Our desire is to truly encounter others, and to view the world through the eyes of Jesus. Our mission is to provide students with a life-changing opportunity to experience real medical need internationally, and serving in a voluntary capacity that allows for hands-on experiences.

Kettering College offers a variety of services that students are able to participate in. You won’t have to leave the country to find an individual, or even an entire community, in need. If our students wish to get involved without disrupting the weekly routine of studying, Campus Ministries hosts local programs on the weekends including feeding the homeless in Columbus, OH, working in a soup kitchen and building relationships with the less fortunate of Dayton, OH, educating and interacting with the young gentlemen of the Victory Project, and singing songs, passing out roses, and praying with the residents at the Sycamore Glen Retirement Center. Our local outreach ministry provides us with the opportunity to offer ourselves to those in our community and in our neighborhood.

If you have a passion to travel and to reach outside of your comfort zone, Kettering College is excited to provide you with several opportunities to serve in another country. In collaboration with the Honors Program, every year Campus Ministries offers the Peru medical mission trip during spring break. If there’s a desire to spend an extended period of time to serve in a mission trip, Campus Ministries hosts the International Medical Missionary (IMM) in countries like Thailand, Marshall Islands, India, Chad, and Sierra Leone. The IMM Program takes you overseas to help care for a community of people who will change your life as much as you change theirs.
