Campus One80

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

Campus One80 was founded in 2018 by Dr. Valorie Nordbye with six campuses across Rochester, NY and Massachusetts. During the pandemic we doubled our staff, grew to eight campuses across four different states, and launched an online ministry. In 2023, Dr. Carrie Starr became our new president, bringing celebrated expertise in fundraising, ministry planting, and leadership development. We continue to expand our impact and now minister on ten campuses with over 40 staff members, student interns and volunteers. We are looking to partner with individuals, churches, and organizations as we continue to grow and develop the next generation of servant leaders.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:2

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.

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!
