Huntington Off Campus

All across the country youth ministers are finding exciting ways to unite in ministry partnership. This visible unity is a high value to the Lord Jesus, one that He prayed for in His last days (John 17:21). By practicing this unity we can actively reveal Jesus among the young people with whom we minister.

Link Institute is proud to be active in the promotion of this networking on the local level.

Huntington, Indiana, is a small community of about 30,000 people. We have one high school in the county (slightly more than 2,000 students). Off Campus is the youth ministry network that has been developed to further the Christ-glorifying unity of our youth ministry presence in this community. It's purpose is relatively straightforward:

Off Campus exists to make an impact on Huntington County youth by uniting area youth ministers.

Off Campus' core values include practicing visible unity, seeing students as individuals , seeking spiritual transformation, and cultivating authentic partnerships--all of which are to be surrounded by prayer.

Off Campus has also articulated the following vision statement:

We want to develop student leaders who discover healthy and balanced faithfulness in their lives. Using their spiritual gifts to contribute distinctive fruit through the local body of Christ they will become effective missionaries to their world.

We want to reach lost kids, providing creative platforms through which the gospel of Jesus Christ can be clearly communicated. Responding to these persistent, loving initiatives they will become dedicated followers of Jesus Christ.

We want to incorporate Christian teens as meaningful partners in the life of a local church. Drawing on common vision-raising experiences they will become positive contributors to church renewal.
