About

Renovate UT Vision Statement

Renovate UT is a partnership of campus ministries seeking the redemption and restoration of God’s kingdom at the University of Texas through reaching every student with the gospel of Jesus Christ.   Our goal in this partnership is to strategically connect ministries and students toward establishing a viable Christian community on mission in every college, club, residence and culture at UT.

Values

In light of our vision statement, the Renovate UT partnership values four things that will facilitate accomplishing our vision.

Targeted Mission

We believe God has called us to take ownership of the souls of the 50,000 students at The University Texas, and that we must work together strategically to do what God has called us to.  Within the larger mission, we believe God has called specific ministries to focus on particular groups at the University to effectively accomplish campus saturation with missional communities.

Authentic Accountability

As God has called us to a common vision and strategy for reaching the campus, we desire to hold one another accountable to our portion in the mission of reaching the campus, and to continuing to seek the Lord on how our ministry must grow and adapt toward that end.

Community Learning

We believe that in order to be effective missionaries at the University of Texas, we must learn from one another and challenge one another to grow in effectiveness in ministry.  Learning happens best in community, and we value time spent with one another diligently seeking God for best ministry practices in our context.

Creative Collaboration

We believe we must collaborate together to effectively reach the University of Texas with a common vision, agreed strategy, empowering partnerships. Our collaboration will include shared training time, cooperative resources, common initiatives and events, and celebration together.
