Mapping the spiritual landscape of today's college students

—and an invitation to help shape it.

Every campus ministry is facing the same unknowns—alone. The “Gen Z” label no longer tells you enough, and enrollment, campus access and new pathways are reshaping where ministry happens. The questions are pressing: Where are students spiritually right now? Who is truly open to faith? How do you recruit and keep staff, and what new ministry models need to be built? Two national studies bring it into focus—one of college students ages 16–25, and one of campus ministry leaders and field staff.

Ministry organizations have an opportunity to join the cohort and help shape this research—contributing to the questions it asks, gaining early access to the findings and learning alongside peers who are navigating the same challenges.
