Campus View – A Church of Christ

 

We are looking for a pulpit minister to join us and develop spiritual growth and community within the congregation and share Christ across the broad spectrum of the greater Athens community: families, young singles, teens, college students, seniors.

We are a community where individuals from diverse walks of life can encounter and express the power of the Gospel. Approximately 125-150 attend services on a typical Sunday, and we engage the spiritual gifts of our full membership in ministry. We aim to create an environment that promotes commitment to Christ, authentic relationships through Life-Groups, and active engagement in the larger community. Our focus on biblical teachings guides our ministry approach, inspiring individuals to develop a deep understanding of Scripture, live out their faith boldly, and make a positive impact on the world around them. Campus View sits on the outer edges of The University of Georgia, which we consider to be one of our key mission fields. Another important focal area is Athens and the greater Athens community, consisting mostly of non-transient families and individuals across the adult age spectrum.

​

We invite applicants to visit our website and view videos of past services as a way of getting acquainted with us.
