CMC Statement of Purpose
Est. 1986
The Campus Ministry Cooperative is organized to provide a network through which campus ministers can work together while allowing for the individual autonomy of each member.
Membership in the CMC is open to professional or to specific, designated leaders of religious organizations ministering to the University of Florida. The CMC also welcomes university personnel who share the concerns of campus ministry.
The CMC as this gathered community then seeks to share and act on issues of concern to the religious and university communities in ways which individual members could not do alone.
The professional joins the CMC as an individual, and actions of the CMC do not represent official positions of the churches, judicatories, or fellowships of the members.
Those who work through the CMC base their cooperation on the principle that wherever people sincerely seek to know God and desire to live in peace with their neighbor, there God is found in acts of love and justice.
In summary, the CMC holds a vision that seeks no victories which cause others pain or humiliation. Instead we seek only a gentle victory over terror and despair, praying for a reconciliation of humankind through the love of God.
