Vision of Ministry/Name of Ministry

I've been thinking about the name of the ministry: University of Wisconsin-Whitewater United Methodist Ministry.

I think it's too long.

I've been thinking of new names.

During that process, I've gotten wisdom from two people.

The first person said, "Why don't you get some ideas for other people?" And who better to ask then you who are actually a part of this facebook group?!

The second person said, "You've got to start with a vision, and the name will come out of that."

Very wise, indeed!

So, I'd like your input.

For starters, my vision as best as I can articulate it now is this:

1. Cast the net wide to reach those students who are falling through the cracks- those who aren't being served by other campus ministries.
2. Do events, outings, and activities that will help foster community and connectedness on what can be a lonely college experience.
3. Lead small groups Bible Studies for opportunities of spiritual growth and learning.
4. Invest in a few key individuals to pursue God in a deeper way.

I welcome your thoughts and input. I also welcome your ideas for a name.

Here's what my brainstorming session has come up with so far:

-The Bridge: Connecting You to God and the Campus to the Community
-ROC (Resting On Christ) Solid Campus Ministry
-The Cross & The Flame Warhawk Chapter
-Splash (Like a splash of water on a clear lake, we want to make a lasting impact with our lives and on this campus.)

What do you think?
