Campus ministry reaches beyond Baylor bubble to homeless population

By Beckett Rakes | Staff Writer As a Baptist university, Baylor hosts a wide variety of campus ministries. However, while many focus their efforts on campus activities, some groups aim to reach people who may be less familiar with Christian doctrine. KIV, short for Koinonia InterVarsity, is a campus ministry that extends its work beyond the university community. Denver senior Michael Chung, one of KIV’s leaders, said the organization seeks to connect students with people and experiences outside their usual campus environment. “KIV is a community of friends,” Chung said. “And our goal is to invite all people to belong, believe and become like Jesus at the end of the day. I think KIV is the greatest way to step out of what we call the Baylor bubble.“ Austin senior Zach Reitler also emphasized that the organization’s work is rooted in a shared religious purpose rather than its affiliation with a particular institution.
