Church Relations Covenant for 2009-2010
The members of the staff of the Office of Church Relations are here to support the ministry of Disciples on Campus. Together we seek to support student and church community leadership of DOC and Disciples/UCC events and programs. We covenant to raise scholarship and program money for Disciples and United Church of Christ students and student ministries. We will help recruit and award scholarships to those who are in continuing community through DOC, their home congreagations and/or other ministry structures that keeps the Disciples or United Church of Christ relationship a meaningful one.
The best advice we can offer is to make sure that you keep a balance in your life that will give you enough time to fully complete your DOC covenant.
