November 1-3, 2019
Activities begin at 8pm on Friday night and end with the close of Sunday Morning Worship (around noon).
why attend the engage weekend?
If you're a high school student, college decisions are just around the corner. State university? Private college? Bible college? Are there Christians on secular campuses that I can connect with? Before that time sneaks up on you, come spend a weekend with us and be inspired that you CAN thrive as a Christian on a secular campus; you CAN meaningfully engage with Christ, with Christian community, and with campus!
what to expect
Expect to be encouraged, feel what campus ministry is like, and make fun memories! You'll interact with college-aged believers through meaningful conversations about life as Christians in college, prayer & devotions, games & activities, our annual Barn Dance, Sunday Morning Worship, and more. We'll visit the EIU campus, hang out at the Christian Campus House, and provide opportunity to spend some time around Charleston.
Housing & Dining
Housing
While housing for 2019 is still undetermined, groups will be staying in one of two possible locations - either the Christian Campus House itself OR in Lawson Hall (an EIU residence hall).
If we determine groups will stay at the Christian Campus House, here's what to expect:
Basic bedding (sleeping bag/pillow) is necessary...air mattresses or cots encouraged! (There's plenty of space.) We'll split guys & girls upstairs and downstairs, with each floor having several toilets & its own shower. Be sure to pack your toiletries, linens & towel, a Bible, casual clothes, Barn Dance clothes (think country line-dancing!), and church clothes (Sunday's attire is also relatively casual).
Details will be provided later if we determine that groups will stay in Lawson Hall.
Dining
If you have any food allergies or dietary needs, please let us know. We'll provide snacks, Saturday & Sunday breakfasts, and Saturday lunch. We may have an opportunity to eat in an EIU dining hall. Suppers & Sunday lunch are on your own.
