Vision
As our mission statement above reads, Campus Outreach Augusta exists to glorify God by building laborers on the campus for the lost world. Our aim is to glorify God because man's chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. We seek to do this by building laborers because the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. We do all of this on the college campus because college students are the next generation's leaders. Our vision is for the lost world because God's heart is for the nations. CO Augusta operates from the authority of First Presbyterian Church of Augusta in Augusta, GA, on campuses in the Southeast.

Vehicle
EVANGELIZE
We share the gospel of God’s grace and love through Jesus Christ with non-Christians. Our primary method for evangelism is building relationships with college students. We also create spiritual and non-spiritual contexts to fuel relationships, investigation, and leadership opportunities (Romans 1:16, John 4:35).
ESTABLISH
We build up disciples in their relationship with Christ. We teach new or young Christians about building convictions, perspectives, and skills to know Christ, become like Christ, and make Christ known in and through their lives. Examples of what we share include Bible study, prayer, evangelism, worship, and time and money management (Colossians 2:6-7).
EQUIP
We prepare maturing believers to make disciples by reproducing their lives into others. We seek to instill the vision and skills necessary for students to live out Matthew 28:18-20 and 2 Timothy 2:1-2 as they evangelize, establish, and equip others (Ephesians 4:11-13).
EXPORT
We send multiplying disciples into the world to be kingdom leaders and servants for Christ and in His Church. Our greatest desire is to build up equipped laborers who embrace and employ their gifts for the kingdom. With a multiplication philosophy at our core, our hope is that by reaching the campus for Christ, we would reach the world, as graduates are sent into every sphere of society (Matthew 9:36-38, Mark 3:14).
Church
With whom do we partner?
Although the ministry of Campus Outreach maintains an interdenominational profile on the campus, every Campus Outreach ministry operates under the authority and supervision of a local church body. We encourage students to get involved in a local church with us while in college and after they graduate.
Campus Outreach Augusta is under the authority of First Presbyterian Church of Augusta.
