Our ministry to college students aims make and mature disciples of Jesus Christ to the glory of God. We seek to do this by deepening students' knowledge of God and love for the church. We utilize the following means to accomplish this goal:
Sunday Small Group: Following the service each week, students are invited to join Associate Pastor Jeremy Hudson at his home for lunch. During this time, we pray, reflect on the sermon from the morning, and engage in meaningful discussions.
CONNECT: This ministry pairs students with church members and their families. Our aim is to teach students to be healthy church members by facilitating deeper connections between college students and the broader church community. Students can register by clicking here.
Local Church Connection: We encourage students to prioritize care of their soul first and foremost as they search for jobs and internships (Matthew 6:33). We do this by introducing students to healthy local churches in areas where job and internship opportunities exist. Our Spring 2025 partnership will be announced shortly.
College Ministry Fellowships: We spend time together in order to deepen relationships. Our desire is to help one another mature as disciples of Jesus. Below is our schedule of events for Spring 2025:

Fall and Spring Reading Groups: Students are invited to read and meet to discuss a different book each semester. Our aim is to mature disciples of Jesus by loving God with our minds (Matt. 22:37). We will be reading Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God by J.I. Packer in Spring 2025.
Summer Reading Plan: Students are also encouraged to engage in a summer reading group Our aim is to mature disciples of Jesus by helping students understand what to look for in a church and to grow in their love for the local church. This four-year cycle involves working through selections from the Building Healthy Churches series by 9Marks. Participants are expected to read 2-3 books and provide succinct responses to follow-up questions.
Service: We encourage students to utilize the giftings the Lord has given them for the building up of the church (1 Corinthians 12:4-7; Ephesians 4:15-16). Conversations about service typically also revolve around church membership. We believe church membership is the New Testament expectation for believers.
