Ethan + Kaity
Ethan + Kaity
A little about us...
We met in 2013 as students at Ohio University, where Kaity studied journalism and Spanish and Ethan studied Middle Childhood Education. We were both involved with Cru at OU, a campus ministry that helped to deepen our love for Christ and equip us to live missionally once we left the college campus.
After her graduation in December of 2013, Kaity spent a semester as volunteer staff with Cru at OU, then became a full-time intern the following fall. In the fall of 2015, she transitioned to the Athletes in Action Headquarters, where she served as a writer for the Digital Strategies team.
Ethan graduated from OU in May of 2015. He accepted a job at Whitaker Elementary in Finneytown, where he taught science and social studies to a bunch of awesome sixth graders for two years.
We joined staff with Cru as full-time campus missionaries in 2016. Now, we serve as the Team Leaders for the Cincinnati Metro Team, reaching students at the University of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky University with the gospel. Much of our time is focused on mentoring and training student leaders and caring for fraternity and sorority students.

Why Campus Ministry?
Why Campus Ministry?
College campuses are full of young men and women in search of something to satisfy the deepest longings of their hearts. The Greater Cincinnati area alone is home to more than 100,000 college students.
Through evangelism and discipleship, we get to introduce the world’s future leaders to the only One who can fill their need for love and acceptance, and equip them to live lives of faithfulness after graduation. We love getting to be a part of helping to fulfill the Great Commission in the power of the Holy Spirit by winning students to faith in Jesus Christ, building them in their faith and sending them to win and build others, here in the United States and around the world.
