What if the administration seems to block campus ministry outreach efforts?
First of all, ask for a copy of the school policy on campus clubs. Often the school administration is either ignorant of your rights or are just bluffing in hopes that you won't get a Bible club started. If there is no school policy on campus clubs then gently explain to the administration that you do have the legal right to meet with other students on the campus in a club format.
If there is a school policy that disallows clubs of any kind, you can choose to meet informally (not as a club but as a group of friends), or you can investigate your legal rights by getting in touch with any of the following organizations.
Organizations that can help you understand your legal rights as a Christian student on a public school campus:
