Annual Report 2021
Introduction
Before welcoming students into the new house, the pastoral team adopted some new language to articulate our ministry goals and collective calling as we minister week-to-week within the campus community. These are five markers, or characteristics, that identify the true follower of Jesus, as well as five pillars that identify the corporate place and people we are called to become. We call it the Five and Five.
Our collective calling is to be and to raise up disciples who know Jesus, love Jesus, trust Jesus, obey Jesus, and share Jesus. We also aim to be a place and people of Presence, Belonging, Healing, and Equipping, who are then Sent out to make disciples of all nations. The mission to reach, equip, and mobilize Boilermakers for Kingdom living has not changed. Rather, these values help us view and shape all our ministry activity in ways that keep us tethered to God’s calling as a spiritual home on Purdue’s campus.
We structured this year’s annual report in a way that highlights those values. As you read these stories of transformation and glimpse the life of Campus House in 2021, we pray you’re encouraged: God is up to good, deepening roots and bearing fruit in the lives of Purdue students. Thank you for your support in this humbling and exciting journey.

“It sometimes feels like God did the impossible in getting me to this place – taking me from a version of myself who scoffed at people with a strong faith, who were ‘jumping for Jesus,’ and changed me. He showed me that there is truly no other way to live free. Life in a relationship with Him this year has brought peace, boldness, and joy that I can’t explain. I hope I’m always jumping and dancing before Him.”

Covering the
House in Prayer
“I have grown to love and highly value my time with the Lord, as the prayer team has introduced me to new practices to center in on listening to God and His loving voice. It has been a beautiful journey to grow deeper in my personal relationship with the Lord from what I have learned from the community at Campus House. I have witnessed prayer unite not only my heart with God’s but that of the prayer team and the congregation, as well. It is a blessing to be a part of a community that is so eager to hear from God and be pressed, stretched, and challenged to go all in alongside them.”
Jessie Keown, Senior

Being & Building
Up the Church
“The primary shift in the past few seasons has been to focus on the value and necessity of equipping in various social spaces. Rather than expecting the large Sunday gathering to be a sufficient tool for teaching and equipping, we have begun to spread this responsibility more evenly across different settings: equipping for prayer and worship in a weekend workshop with a group of 40-50; going deep into theological topics with 20 students over the course of 5 weeks; equipping leaders in small cohorts we call ‘huddles;’ and other similar workshops and intensives that address the needs of Campus House in each season. The use of these social and personal spaces has taken some of the weight off of our large gatherings and has allowed for new and deeper connections with the community in contexts that give space for authentic equipping on a new level.”
Ralph McCoy, Pastoral Team
Students gather for a Bible study on the theology of faith and work.

A Commitment to Mission on Campus
Dave Shockey, Pastoral Team
Three Ways to Pray For our Bridge Group:
- Pray that each member would grow in wisdom and effectiveness in the ways and mission of Jesus.
- Pray for those in bondage and destructive behaviors to be set free in Christ.
- Pray for new converts to remain firm in the faith.
More Stories of God’s Movement
“He has wooed me more and more and called me to follow Him with my entire being. He has comforted me through story work and trauma therapy and revealed His justice.”
Chay Andolino, Young Professional
“My involvement in Hospitality Council and occupying the front desk at Campus House has allowed me time and space to devote to this practice of love. I feel a sense of belonging and purpose that I’ve never felt anywhere else. I’ve seen myself transform and come alive through my relationships here… and my role in the church has made my college years a time of faithful growth and devotion to God.”
Laura Barnes, Senior
“Hospitality at J-House revolves around providing an energetic, safe, Christ-centered space that is open to anyone. Our mission is to display the character of Jesus by encouraging our community of believers and providing a space for nonbelievers to experience an atmosphere of Christlike love.”
Matthew Lanum, J-House Resident
Epilogue
It has been a whirlwind of a year. Trying to find our footing in the midst of the changes and challenges has reminded me of kids on the playground attempting to jump on or off a merry-go-round in motion. It’s all a bit of a blur, and even a successful “leap” requires several subsequent moments to reorient. Our staff has tried to be more intentional about creating space to live and work from rhythms of rest, worship, and celebration; but there has been so much to process, launch, and invite people into. There have been so many to welcome, shepherd, and walk alongside.
The new house is a blessing on multiple levels. It is a gift to have such a beautiful, spacious, functional, and bustling house of prayer, worship, equipping, and hospitality in the center of campus. It’s the geographical hub of some of the remarkable stories of God’s work that you’ve just read: life-giving community, freedom that comes through surrender to the Lordship of Jesus, steps of faith into servant leadership and God’s calling.
There have also been challenges on so many fronts. We continue to navigate the pandemic; profound hardship and grief among our staff and students; and a host of needs on our campus, as our community grapples with the fragmenting and isolating effects of personal, familial, and cultural traumas while also managing the rigors of academia, relationships, and work.
It’s a whirlwind. It’s disorienting. It’s a bit of a blur.
And yet:
“We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.” (Hebrews 6:19)
“We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”(2 Corinthians 4:7)
“We have this confidence in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” (1 John 5:14)
And so we enter into the milieu with a kind of steadfastness that comes not by our own piety or strength, but only by proximity to Jesus. In our own disorientation, we continually seek to reorient ourselves to His presence and power, which bring a “peace that surpasses understanding,” as well as a resolute fierceness to participate with God in His work to reverse the fall—to bring His Kingdom.
In the words of T.S. Eliot, “We must be still and still moving. In my end is my beginning.” We must be still and know that God is God—to ground ourselves in Jesus, in whom we live and move and have our being, and to prayerfully move in step with the Spirit by His power.
May it be so.
In Christ alone,
