Churches close to university or college campuses often experience an influx of students at the beginning of each academic term. Many of these students become actively involved in the life of the church throughout the period of their study. However, many others do not. This project presents a strategy for integrating students into the life of a church. Mentoring provides an ideal model for involving an entire congregation in ministry to and with students. Based on a theological framework and using lessons learned from history, demography and ethnography, a three-pronged model of mentoring (visitation/evangelism, mentoring and hospitality) is developed. The model was tested successfully in Knox Presbyterian Church, Toronto, found next to the University of Toronto. The study is in three parts. The first is a theoretical and analytical basis for a programme of mentoring. The second provides a practical manual for establishing a mentoring community in a local church. The third section offers an evaluation of the programme as it was initiated at a downtown University Church in Canada's largest city, Toronto.
