Welcome to the
Milwaukee Area Universities
Velocity
is the campus ministry of the Milwaukee
Church of Christ in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Velocity consists of college students
that have committed their lives to the
service of Jesus Christ. We have students
in attendance at five different universities
in the Greater Milwaukee area.
Velocity is deeply committed to three
primary principles of discipleship.
The
first is to come to the point where we
dearly love and constantly delight in
the Lord our God, made ‘real’
on earth in Jesus, and to realize that
there is no limitto the goodness of His
intentions or His power to carry them
out. The second principle is to remove
the habits (that we developed in the kingdom
of the world) that come against the principles
of the Kingdom of God. We seek to shed
the old patterns of thoughts, feelings,
and actions as we fully experience the
life of the ‘age to come’
in the present age.
The third principle is the call to make
disciples of all people. Velocity believes
that the world has been in exile from
its creator as a result of sin. We wish
to spread the message of Jesus Christ,
that through his life and work, mankind
can now be ‘set to rights’
in their relationship with their God.
We actively seek and invite everyone to
join us on our new Exodus as we journey
out of the rule of sin, to God and the
‘age to come’.

To achieve these goals, we actively engage
in two primary spiritual disciplines (although
there are many others). The first of these
is the discipline of study. Velocity is
a ministry that is deeply committed to
the study and knowledge of the Word of
God. We do this as a community through
various disciplines that include systematic
theology and proper biblical interpretation.
The second spiritual discipline, worship,
is deeply related to the first. Worship
imprints on our entire being the reality
that we study. We believe that worship
without study is dangerous and prone to
zealous errors, while study without worship
is dangerous and prone to lifeless orthodoxy.
