This purpose of this project was based on the need to develop a strategic plan for college campus ministry leaders to encourage and equip Christian students between the ages of eighteen and twenty-two at Hannibal-LaGrange University to be active church members. The project involved eight seminars with Resident Advisors who were taught what church membership is and how to encourage it among their classmates. The project objectives included creating training material for campus ministry leaders to teach about church membership, to give a biblical rational on what church membership is, and show the need for why it needs to be taught to college students to encourage church membership.
