Campus One80

Empowering student leaders who are committed to transforming their campuses with the Gospel,
one life at a time.

Campus One80 was created in 2018 by Dr. Valorie Nordbye with 20 staff on six campuses in New York and Massachusetts. With the grace and guidance of God carrying us through the pandemic, we came out with 40 staff on eight campuses across four different states and an online ministry. Having almost doubled in size during our first five years, we continue to grow with plans to plant more campus ministries and train additional new staff and interns. Valorie Nordbye is currently President Emeritus and is making way for Dr. Carrie Starr to be our new President. 

Our Mission

Empowered Leaders, Transformed Campuses

We go where the students are. This means we are present on college campuses, building relationships as we interact with people. Our goal is to have these communities train student leaders, promote justice, and connect students to local churches.

Fall Retreat: Building Bridges

October 25-27

Jesus gathered together people from extremely different political, social, economic and religious  backgrounds and commissioned them to go even further outside their communities to be salt and light in the world.  How might God be still calling us today to step outside our comfort zones and find peace and common ground with people we fundamentally disagree with?

Campus One80 was a fantastic opportunity during my first 2 years at MCC! Having a common group of people to worship, learn about Jesus, eat dinner, and play games with was awesome. I’m truly thankful for the opportunities to go on retreats and fellowship with other colleges, as well as the opportunity to serve on the worship team!
