COLLEGE MINISTRIES

Presbyterian Campus Ministries

Presbyterian collegiate ministry is alive and well on campuses throughout the presbytery. They are providing community, support, friendship and a variety of activities for interested students. Please be sure to remind your students and parents that campus ministry programs are a great resource for young people weathering the transition from home to college, and be sure to let the campus pastors where your student is attending know they will be coming to their school.
