January 2013
Spring is here – ok, the spring semester is here. At the Campus
House, we implement many of the ministry aspects that have
consistently affected the lives of university students.
IMMERSE – our weekly worship – comes each Wednesday at 7 pm as we sing, pray, and discuss “From on
High” – Jesus’ words from the Sermon on the Mount.
Tuesday Lunch, an excellent social outreach to students, feeds many each week and provokes important
conversations to lead to lasting relationships.
Our INVEST studies (small groups) reintroduce titles like ”Sav*vy”, “How to Lead a Small Group”, “Manly”,
“Trees”, “Compass”, and “The Story” a New Testament survey.
Student-led prayer groups meet 5 days each week to purposefully ask God for guidance. Service
projects round out the weekly schedule as we visit hospital patients, volunteer at Watauga Square
Apartments, and help ETSU’s international students. A team is developing to serve Jesus on a domestic
field this summer.
We invite many to our high-activity Thursday Night Live in order to establish relationships. Please pray
for wisdom, energy, and courage as we work to meet needs – both temporal and eternal – in the lives of
university students.
Who’s at ETSU?
Tell us who has come to ETSU’s campus this semester. If you know students who have ventured to other
universities, check out www.aofcm.org for the Christian Church campus ministry at that school.

Financially Speaking
All supporting congregations receive with this letter CSF’s Budget for 2013 and CSF’s 2012 Financial Report.
Here’s a summary of the financial report: In 2012 CSF received gifts of $86,514 in ministry support.
Additionally, $33,884 was given toward the building project. With the increase in ministry staff, CSFs’ 2012
expenses totaled $90,031 leaving a balance of $6,116 with which to begin 2013. God continues to provide for
our needs, although we consistently look for financial partners. Let us know if we can visit your congregation
for an update or appeal.
