Christian Service through Mission: During one week in May each year, Cameron Campus Ministry and other sponsors facilitate a mission opportunity for “hands on” service to others.
Martin Luther King Celebration: One of the mainstays of the Campus Ministry program is the annual Martin Luther King Jr. celebration and awards banquet. Each year one or more persons is the recipient of the Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian Award.
