A CHURCH HOME AND FAMILY

Since 2003, College Connection Campus ministries has provided college students with a vital church home and opportunities for worship, study, service, hospitality, and leadership development that have helped them grow in their Christian faith. Wesley Hall has created a warm, welcoming environment, and Wesley House offers student residents a wonderful place to live in Christian community.

The first Sunday of each month, College Avenue hosts a free luncheon specifically for college students.  All are welcome whether you've visited College Avenue before or if it's your first visit with us.

WORSHIP

Students may participate in any of College Avenue's worship services, classes, or groups. The 11:10am service offers a traditional worship in the sanctuary, while the 9:00am CAFE service is a contemporary service in Wesley Hall.

On the fifth Sunday of each month and holidays, College Avenue offers a Coming Together service.  This is one blended service at 11:10am.  Sunday School will continue as normal at 10:00am.

"College Connection is not only a place to worship God and find, continue, and grow in a relationship with Jesus Christ, but it also is a place to grow in relationships with peers and people of all ages... There always has been an immeasurable amount of love shown to every individual who walks in the doors at College Avenue."

"I started coming to College Connection my freshman year with a friend from my dorm floor, but what really got me hooked was the spring break mission trip to Costa Rica--a high point in my spiritual walk. I've had an amazing Christian family here, and I'll always want that. It's my foundation."
