What is College Ministry?
Our vision for the student ministry is to equip and empower the next generation of saints to live out their faith in a way that transforms their lives and the world around them. We aim to create an environment where students can grow deeper in their relationship with Christ, build authentic and meaningful relationships with one another, and discover their unique gifts and passions. Our desire is to see students become fully devoted followers of Jesus who actively engage in their communities, boldly sharing their faith and impacting the world for Christ. We believe that investing in the lives of our students today is essential to shaping the future of our church and our world.
What We Do
Through our programs and gatherings, we aim to teach college students the importance of the Bible and being in fellowship with other followers of Christ on their faith journey.
Community is an essential part of what we are about at Open Door. This is the context in which students are discipled and grow alongside other believers; whether peers or seasoned brothers and sisters in Christ. In addition to meeting weekly for Sunday worship, we desire to see students pursue discipleship relationships with others in a CareGroup. The Christian walk is not meant to be lived in isolation, and so we urge students to be discipled and in turn be discipling others.
As a student, you’re in a season full of unique freedoms—time, availability, and summers that can be invested in nearly anything. What better way to spend a summer than building God’s kingdom through the local church, planting churches, and reaching people in communities in great need of the gospel? Summer LINK equips students to become a part of the momentum already mounting across the country and the globe—men and women willing to live on mission, following Jesus to the ends of the earth, and seeing the fulfillment of the Great Commission.
Join us for our College Lunches! Our church members host these lunches for college students during the semester. It's a great opportunity for you to connect with older and wiser members in the church while enjoying a delicious meal together. Come and learn from their experiences and wisdom, make new friends, and grow in your faith. We look forward to having you join us!
