Campus minister and evangelical chaplain Devon Bartholomew and his wife Kate are the leaders of the Southern Baptists’ “Christian Outreach” campus program at Syracuse University. They lead a team of interns and student leaders who organize Christian outreach events, hold student Bible studies and discipleship groups, and present Sunday worship services. Devon also serves as pastor of the Baptist campus church that meets in Hendricks Chapel at SU.

For 10 years, the Bartholomews have been the face of Baptist Campus Ministry at SU. This summer they are joined by student interns Jessica and Leah, who are helping to organize events such as summer student picnics and “Campus Church on the Quad.” Summer may be a somewhat “slower” time on campus, but there are many students still in the community, especially grad students (often foreign) as well as students with longer term research projects. This is a time when fellowship opportunities and activities are often appreciated.
