ECHO college MINISTry




What is ECHO?

ECHO is the college ministry of Vertical Church. We aim to engage students' hearts, to help students strengthen their relationship with the LORD, and to equip students to live out their faith in practical ways. Our mission is to lead students to be passionate about Jesus so that they can lead others to Jesus. We believe the way to do this is through Jesus’s call of discipleship.


And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” - Matthew 28:18-20

what does ECHO do?

We strive to accomplish our mission mentioned above in different ways. One way is through our bible study small groups we have throughout the semester. In our small groups, we read through scripture, have discussions, and strive to take next steps with the Lord. 


Another way we strive to accomplish our mission is through fun activities and hangouts. We plan events that are meant to foster community and help our students engage with the lost. Not only do we plan events, but we also strive to hang out with one another on campus. 


The third way we strive to accomplish our mission is through trips and retreats. These vary each semester, but we have taken our students on retreats during school breaks, conferences, mission trips, etc. These really have strengthened friendships in our ministry and have equipped our students even more in their lives following Jesus.
