Collegiate Ministry

About

Collegiate Ministry exists for those in the emerging adulthood years, roughly ages 18 to 24. This season carries real challenges: choosing a major or a first career, building new friendships, navigating dating and relationships, and learning to own a faith that's no longer just your parents'. It's different from the decade that follows it, and we believe it deserves focused, intentional ministry, not a watered-down version of youth group or a holding pattern until "real" church life begins.

But our aim isn't to keep you here. We want to walk with you through this season, help you see your campus, your job, and your everyday relationships as the mission field God has already placed you in, and set you on a clear path toward full, active belonging in the whole church family, not just this group. The goal is for you to grow from being someone the church is discipling into someone who disciples, serves, and leads alongside people twice your age and more.

 

What to Expect:

• Sunday Nights (6:30-8:00pm): A Bible study focused on deepening your walk with God and building real friendships with other believers navigating this same season.

 

Our Vision

We're passionate about helping college students and other emerging adults navigate the unique challenges and opportunities of this life stage, with a focus on:

• Spiritual Growth: Cultivating a deeper relationship with Jesus through scripture, prayer, and authentic community.

• Connection: Building a supportive network of friends who encourage and challenge each other in their walk with Christ.

• Mission: Helping you see your campus, workplace, and everyday relationships as the mission field God has already placed you in.

• Service: Providing opportunities to serve and make a difference, both within our church and in the wider community.

• Outreach: Creating a welcoming environment where questions are encouraged and the message of Jesus is shared with clarity and love.

• Transition: Preparing you to step fully into the life of the church body, in membership, service, and even leadership, as you grow beyond the college and emerging adult season.
