Campus Ministry
The Campus Ministry is a certified ministry that is initiated and led by student-athletes, sponsored by coaches, supported by staff, established on junior high, high school or college campuses and meets on a regular basis and is strictly voluntary at Richard Bland College.

The types of Campus Ministry are: Club Huddle, Team Huddle, Chaplain Huddle and Coaches Huddle.

The school campus can be one of the most strategic mission fields with many youth passing through this portal. FCA focuses on equipping, enabling, empowering and encouraging student-athletes, coaches and adult leaders to impact and influence their campus for Christ.

The local FCA efforts on the Richard Bland College campus are led by Michaele and Ralph Shriver.  The local organization assists Statesmen student-athletes with special occasion and pre-game meals as well as providing monthly dinners that feature guest speakers for the group.
