On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, thus kicking-off the Protestant Reformation. But, despite its deep religious roots, most students in Germany have never heard the gospel.
CAMPUS CONNECT is the student-led movement in Germany. We’re excited about who Jesus is and want to make Him known on every university and college in the country through student-led movements on every campus. Our heartbeat is to grow in our relationship with God and with other Christians, share the gospel on the campus, strengthen one another in our faith, and shape the community and culture around us with the gifts God has given us.
We have 19 staff members in 4 different teams, coaching a total of about 30 movements around the country.
