WWU Students Looking For a Community of Faith
For almost 10 years now I have been connected with students at Western Washington University to some degree or another. I spent 7 good years as a campus pastor there and was involved in a number of things. One year we took Western students to Mongolia. Another year to West Africa. Another year to Western China (near Tibet). And another year to Eastern Europe (Poland). We started the first ever Perspectives Course on campus and it was a smash; but so much work. We also led a small group of Christians that met regularly. Predominantly Korean-American, it was a great little group of people who we had a chance to grow tight with and even did a communal living experiment. It was crazy – a newlywed couple living in community – virtually the same housing – with college students for 2 – 3 years. Just about the hardest thing during my years working as a pastor @ WWU was…
taking the Korean-American group more mainstream.
We were eclipsed by some larger groups on campus who were doing some fine work and so we decided to move our endeavors off-campus, to start a multi-ethnic church in a town not particularly known for multi-ethnicity. To make a long story short, this led to our current placement as a pastor at Roosevelt Community Church – where I feel I’ve finally tapped into the flow of life here in Bellingham. So if you’d like to read up more on Roosevelt, click the tab above.
