Last week, Point University welcomed Cam Huxford ’78 to its West Point campus for the annual fall Ministry Seminar.
This semester’s seminar focused on “Reaching the Next One – All the Way to the End.” Huxford, a Point alumnus, trustee and recently retired pastor of Compassion Christian Church in Savannah, Georgia, shared about reaching “your one” for the gospel. The event was attended by local ministry leaders, along with students, faculty, staff and community members.
“If you know anything about Compassion Christian Church in Savannah, where Cam Huxford is the recently retired lead pastor, you know they believe in evangelism and intentionally go about being fruitful in that all-important kingdom responsibility,” said Wye Huxford ’73, dean of the College of Biblical Studies and Ministry. “Cam shared ten key ideas that worked at Compassion, and did so in a way they can be applicable to any size church. It was an outstanding morning.”
“Every seminar is meant to encourage and equip leaders of local churches for effective ministry,” said Nathan Jones ’07, associate professor of Christian ministry. “Having attended a handful of them over the years, I can safely say that Point has always hit the mark. That being said, our most recent gathering was one in which a legend of the ministry, in every sense of the word, humbly challenged church leaders to have a laser-like focus on reaching the lost. As a leader of a local church myself, it was well worth the time my staff, elders and I spent to be there!”
Point University hosts two ministry seminars a year – one in the fall and one in the spring. The event is always free, but registration is required. Visit point.edu/ministryseminar for more information coming soon for the spring seminar.
