Alex & Natalie Schaffer

Navigators | Denver Auraria Campus

The Navigator ministry at the Auraria Campus Denver (Metropolitan State University, University of Colorado Denver, and Denver Community College) has a vision that students would become deeply abiding ambassadors of Christ for reconciliation today. Through this vision, Alex and Natalie are able to train and equip college students in how to follow Jesus long after they graduate college.

As these students continue to grow, the main goal is to be disciplemakers in whatever local context they find themselves in.
