The Great Investment: That's where The U.S. Collegiate Navigators fit in. Beginning in 1933 when Navigators founder Dawson Trotman taught sailors how to mature in their faith. The Navigators has grown into an international ministry with a presence in 105 Countries. The Collegiate Navigators now number over 400 staff on nearly 70 campuses and minister on another 100-plus campuses led by volunteers. On campus, Navigators is an officially recognized student organization with facults sponsors, and our goals is straightforward.

So what does that look like? While every campus ministry is unique, there are some things that make our ministries distinctively "Navigator":

• One-to-one, "life-to-life" time with students, helping them learn how to study and apply the Bible, communicate their faith, balance priorities, pray, and grow in Christ like character.
• Small group Bible studies, which help students mature in their understanding and application of Scriptural truth.
• Large group events aimed to develop relationshiops and provide fun and challenging social and spiritual growth opportunities.
• Conferences and retreats where students can get away from the rigors of college life and focus on friendships and spiritual development.

The bottom line? Navigator staff love students, and we value the opportunity to invest in your child's life during their college years. Someday, these years will end and your son or daughter will begin a new chapter in the journey. Until then, we count it a privilege to be one of the pairs of "hands" that help carry him or her forward in the ongoing grace of life.
