Greetings! And welcome to Annapolis College Ministry's website. The ACM was created to glorify God and help build His holy Church through full-time pan-Orthodox OCF (Orthodox Christian Fellowship) ministry in historic Annapolis to students of both St. John’s College (SJCA) and the United States Naval Academy (USNA).
Students
today face many new challenges in an increasingly pluralistic
world that is often antagonistic toward the
Orthodox Christian faith. But while they face these challenges
and others, for many students, college can also be an
opportunity to seek and find the Truth—Christ.
The importance of reaching these students with the Truth
of the Orthodox Faith at this critical time of formation
in their lives cannot be overstated!
Read more about the ACM, our founding and vision!
Please take a look around our website and find out more about us. As the ACM is entirely supported by people like you, we encourage you to prayerfully consider contributing to our ministry in any way possible, either via prayer, staying in contact or financially assisting us!
Thank you, and may Christ God bless you!
Sub-deacon Robert Miclean, OCF Chaplain
The Board of Directors

<title>Newsletter:November 2007</title>
<description>Christ is in our midst! I pray that you are well and I remember you in my prayers. College ministry for me is a burden and a blessing: I see and experience every week the struggles and turmoil that goes on in many of our college-aged student’s lives. By struggle I mean the fight within them to prioritize putting Christ and His holy Church first in their lives, to live in accordance with the Faith in striving to glorify God. It’s extremely difficult in college to learn humility, to thirst for God, to see one’s need for God. Most college students are at that age when they think they are ‘invincible.’ And invincibility does not usually lend itself toward realizing one’s need or thirst for God. I really feel for these students and prayerfully desire more than anything that they may humble themselves, discover their need for God in their lives, and come to ‘own’ their Orthodox Faith. There is a real crisis out there among our Orthodox youth in today’s secular culture. I have met very few Orthodox who actually come to college ‘owning’ their Orthodox Faith, i.e., desiring to apply the Faith to their daily lives. Instead, I find much apathy. This is the challenge: to help them understand the good gifts God has for them and their own need to become godly men and women.</description>
