College

Hello College Students!

School. Work. Homework. Friends. Faith. 

How can a college student find balance in a life that's so full of... life?  By becoming a part of a spiritual community that realizes that God isn't just a pew seat on Sundays.  By merging your story with a bigger story.

I think faith should be a verb that spurs us to living a life that means something.  That's why I'm here.  I'm Sami Marasigan, and I hope you'll share your story with me.  I'd love to help you connect with our College & Young Adult Ministry.

Ways to Connect

Wednesdays. When you're in college and just out of college, it seems like you go from one change to another.  Addresses change.  Friends change.  Transition is the new norm.  Find community with us on Wednesdays at 6:00pm.  We meet to serve in the community, try new things, grow in faith together, and form positive friendships.  Open to anyone 18-30.  Friends and new folks always invited! We hope you'll join us!
