The Praise Team is a subset of campus ministry and is the group that plans and implements the chapel services. The leader of chapel is typically on the Disciple Southwestern team as well. The average chapel attendance in 1999-2000 was 90 students, faculty and staff.
Campus ministry is a place where students can try things.
It is a place where they can experiment with their interest without committing themselves long term. In addition to chapel, Campus Ministry also starts several Bible studies, prayer groups or other spiritual growth activities on campus according to the interests of the students. Each team has a different focus and relays the Gospel message in its own special way. In 1999-2000, the Outreach teams traveled to 45 different churches as well as making appearances at the Burrton High School Baccalaureate Service, Winfield's Cumbernauld Village and Wichita's Larksfield Manor retirement communities, the Kansas West annual conference, United Methodist Women of Augusta UMC, the Wichita Boys and Girls Club, Winfield Correctional Facility and World Community Day at Winfield First Baptist Church. Last year two of the outreach teams - Keynotes and the Praise Band went on a trip to Singapore and Malaysia to sing, play and witness to the Methodist congregations within those two countries.
