WHO WE ARE
Our vision at CCH is to be a community on campus empowering students to impact the world for Christ. We are excited about your interest in this ministry that is seeking to bring students together, invest in their lives, equip them to serve, and then mobilize them into personal ministry.
We love to describe ourselves as a family, and our picture above captures it all. We are by no means the perfect, photogenic family, but we are a family who loves one another and seeks to extend that love to those around us. In fact, that is our vision for ministry this year at CCH. Our Rep Group, who we hope you will take the time to learn more about, have come up with a vision called "The Journey: Living as One." It's all about doing life alongside one another, loving one another, connecting with each other, and growing our family as we all grow closer to God. So we hope you will join us as part of this big family and get involved here at the Christian Campus House at Trine University.
If you check out our Events page, you’ll find that we are constantly doing something that you can get involved in! On our Connect page, you can find a number of different opportunities to get plugged in and begin growing in your faith. You will have chances to worship, be fed by the word, grow spiritually with other students, and serve others on campus.
We hope you’ll check out our video link to hear from students and staff just what we are all about! Find us on our social media in the footer to follow along with what is happening and get the latest updates. We don’t want you to miss a single opportunity to come together, hang out, and grow with the family.
If you have any questions, contact us or stop by the CCH House. We look forward to meeting you soon!

TRAVIS WILHELM - LEAD CAMPUS MINISTER
I am a proud alumnus of Trine University. My wife, Cheryl, and I both graduated in 1999 with engineering degrees. I studied Administrative Engineering with a concentration in Civil Engineering (they don't offer this degree any more) and Cheryl studied Chemical Engineering. We both served as the first CCH Interns and I came on staff in 2000 as the Associate Campus Minister. The following year I took over as the Lead Campus Minister and it has been an honor and privilege to serve the Lord here at CCH and watch God transform hundreds of lives ever since. Cheryl and I have five amazing children (Isaac, Heidi, Emily, Caleb, and Lydia) that love investing in students lives. In my free time I enjoy watching or playing any sports, working with my hands, and working out. Don't let the wrinkles and gray hair fool you, I am really a big kid down deep and would enjoy hanging out with you and getting to know each other better.
JORDAN CHILDRESS - ASSOCIATE CAMPUS MINISTER
After attending Trine for 3.5 years and earning a Bachelor's in Psychology, I came on staff in 2014. I first served as a campus ministry intern and then transitioned into the Associate Campus Minister role and have been serving there for 3 years. As the associate, I work closely with Life Groups, Worship, SWAT Teams, and Men's Ministry. I loves hanging out one-on-one with guys, drinking coffee and talking life together, playing sports, or whatever that might entail. I am super blessed to have an amazing wife, Carolyn, to do ministry alongside. The two of us were married in July of 2015 after meeting as students in college. When I'm not serving on campus, I enjoy playing music, going golfing or disc golfing, and chilling with the family greyhound, Doc. If you want to hang out, feel free to get in touch! I would love to get to know you better!
JESSICA ALLEN - WOMEN'S MINISTRY COORDINATOR
In May of 2016, I graduated from Trine with a degree in Accounting and Finance. In June, I came on staff as the Women’s Ministry Coordinator/Administrative Assistant. In this role, I have the pleasure of overseeing women’s ministry, which includes working alongside the Women’s Leadership Team and LIFT Groups, hanging out with ladies one-on-one, planning and hosting events, leading Freshmen Girls Group, as well as helping out with various administrative tasks around the office. I love meeting and hanging out with ladies, and I’m so grateful that part of my job is doing just that! Having met as students at Trine, my husband Eric and I were married in September of 2016, and we absolutely love serving on campus alongside one another. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, Netflix, laughing with Eric, and hanging out with friends. If you have any questions, need anything, or just want to hang out, feel free to contact me!
