In a previous post I explored the question: Are we the local church OR an arm reaching on to the campus?

One of the big reasons I tend to believe that we are an ‘arm’, and not the local church, is because of the context — and more specifically — who controls it.

Campus ministry is, to a certain extent, subject to the academic institution. Unlike the local church, campus ministries will have to — again, to a certain extent — play by a certain set of rules… that they have no say in creating.
