Two members of the Woroniecki family, a non-denominational missionary group, visited Auburn's campus to promote their unique beliefs in Jesus.
The brother and sister held up signs reading, "You need Jesus" and "The 'Churches' are a joke" in front of Parker Hall.
The group travels with their 7 siblings and father to spread the their message that believing in Jesus means more than just going to church.
"If you constantly settle for this physical building in this community listening to men, you will never find the voice of God," said Ruth Woroniecki. "Where as the men and women living for God are helping the poor and out there on the streets."
The family tours college campuses to encourage students to focus on religion.
"This is college but these kids are going to go out into the world and we want to see if they would maybe come to Jesus and maybe think about other people then themselves," Joshua Woroniecki said.
Students had mixed reactions to the group and their signs.
Andrew Newby, senior in creative writing, said he does not agree with the Woroniecki family.
"Nobody has ever changed their mind because of a picket sign," Newby said. "They talk about how you have to be a true follower of Christ and then they don't take any regard to what followers of Christ are supposed to do."
Sarah Hill, freshman in industrial engineering, said she does not necessarily agree with them, but she wants the best for the group.
"A group of us got to pray for them and pray for the student body of Auburn," Hill said. "It could have been a blessing."
