The Campus Ministry program at Penn State McKeesport exists to add spiritual flavor and culture to the McKeesport campus. Many students on campus seem to take their spirituality seriously; however, there is an overwhelming amount of students who say they neither have the time nor do they put the effort into their spirituality.
The director of the Campus Ministry program, Mr. David Shellenbarger, has many things planned for this year. He stated, "A lot of students on campus are unaware of the activities that campus ministry sponsors." Some activities that will be sponsored are the Jubilee Conference and a spring retreat for campus students. Recently, there was a concert featuring the Penn State McKeesport Gospel Choir and Mime Group as well as ensembles from other organizations and schools.
   Mr. Shellenbarger also mentioned that there is a men's Bible study group on campus that meets on Thursdays. The group consists of mostly commuter students; however, residents are also welcomed.
   There is also a Bible study group that is lead in the Residence Hall by resident assistant Tenika Anderson (sophomore information sciences and technology). This Bible study group usually meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Ms. Anderson is not the official leader of the Bible study group and is actually looking for some other Christians to help her teach. She stated, "The purpose of this Bible study is to help Christian students learn some of the basic Biblical principles and help them get used to living the lifestyle they have chosen when accepting Jesus the Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.'' Rasheeda Campbell (junior marketing), who is the leader of the Mime Group on campus, says, "The Mime Group gives students on a campus a way to express their choice of Christianity and their love for the Lord they have chosen." She agrees with Mr. Shellenbarger when he says that more students need to become involved.
