We are a network of student ministries discipling future leaders on Canada’s post-secondary campuses. Our mission is building Jesus-focused campus communities. Our purposes are speaking of Jesus often because He is transforming our lives; generous service and hospitality; providing care and training disciple-making disciples; collaborating in local, national, and global strategic relationships; and launching new student communities.

Our Name

Mark 10:45 (NIV) says, "The Son of Man did not come to BE served, but to SERVE, and to give His life as a ransom for many." Jesus also said in Matthew 10:8 (NIV), "Freely you have received; freely give.” SERVE Campus Network is rooted in Jesus’ mandate to model humility in all we say and do. We want our name to reflect who we are because of who Jesus is. We SERVE by being others focused, leading by example, and resisting the temptation to wield power.

Our Covering

Mission Canada is the domestic mission agency of The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada (PAOC), to whom we are accountable to and grateful for. Next Gen Campus Ministries is one of the priorities for mission within the PAOC. There are many contexts within our nation where Jesus is inadequately represented, including on post-secondary campuses, certain people groups, communities, or regions. Mission Canada is committed to identify and equip those who will pursue their calling to fill identified “gaps” within our nation. Mission Canada provides assistance by way of resources, strategic thinking, partnerships, and networking with like-minded people.

Why We Exist

We believe that our calling is to develop Jesus-focused campus communities that are marked by love, humility, purpose, and service. We take the time to find out about the lives of students and walk with them in their journey in exploring authentic spirituality. We believe in the reality of the spiritual realm and are expectant of the Holy Spirit intervening in the world around us and in our lives. The Holy Spirit transforms lives and is at work through Jesus-centred communities of worship, prayer, discipleship, generosity, and mission. The Holy Spirit’s power can heal us emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and physically.
