a campaign to build
Sustainable Presbyterian Campus Ministry
at The Ohio State University

OSUKirk wants to stabilize Presbyterian campus ministry and build a future where that ministry, including a full-time campus minister, is sustainably funded. You can help now and sustain this ministry into the future.

Let’s help our faith last.

Our Goal

Most Campus Ministers spend at least 50% of their time fundraising for their position. We see this as time not spent in relational ministry with students. OSUKirk’s vision is for our campus minister to freely devote 100% of their time and energy to serving our students.

Our campaign goal is to raise a $3 million dollar sustainability fund that will permanently fund our campus minister’s salary and benefits.
