What is Medical Campus Outreach?

 

Medical Campus Outreach (MCO) grew out of one man's vision for Jesus Christ to be exalted on the campus of the Medical College of Georgia in order to bless the nations with the Gospel in the coming years. He was joined by a few others in praying that God would use MCO to raise up men and women leaders for the health professions who would glorify God through their lives and careers. Since that time, God has raised up MCO teams in cities beyond Augusta such as Charleston, SC, Nashville, Boston and Philadelphia.

 

The MCO Philadelphia Team, which became a ministry of Tenth Presbyterian Church in January of 1996, has had the privilege of knowing God more deeply through relationships and ministry opportunities. At various campuses, MCO staff members encourage and equip student leaders and join in the rich fellowship around the Word of God. The MCO Team also networks with the student leaders to plan monthly city-wide fellowship meetings and an annual regional Winter Conference to foster vision and cross-campus relationships that further God's work in the city.

 

Another area in which MCO seeks to develop leaders in the health care professions is through our Summer Medical Institute (SMI). SMI students build biblical convictions, develop practical skills and kindle passion for God through Bible study, faculty mentoring, rich fellowship, and evangelism and discipleship training.
