Stay up to date with our college ministry by following @midtown_college on Instagram!
As a College Student, you are our city's lifeblood, and we want to equip you to live confidently as Christians on campus. We'll help you figure out what it looks like to be a believer while in school and prepare you to be faithful after graduation. Through LifeGroups and Midtown College events, you will connect and experience life in a community built around trusting Christ.
Midtown College is led by college students who are members at Midtown Downtown. If you'd like to find out more about how to get involved email us here.
To get involved, join a LifeGroup! LifeGroups are the very core of our church family. They are where we live out our vision of being a Jesus-centered family on mission. Our desire is that every student connected to our church would be connected through a LifeGroup.
-
LifeGroups are the best thing we do as a church and College Ministry. In same-gender groups led by fellow college students, we get together to discuss the sermon, read scripture, and pray for one another, hoping that we become more like Jesus and see His Kingdom come to Columbia.
-
Everyone is welcome! Believer or non-believer! Member or non-member. Old or young, introvert or extrovert... you get the picture. We believe LifeGroups are the best place to experience the gospel no matter who you are, so we want everyone to join.
-
I don't know anyone. What should I do? Sign-up anyway. It sounds simple, but we try to make LifeGroups a welcoming environment for new people. Everyone has had a first time at a LifeGroup, so you are not alone. Also, we'll have one of the leaders contact you and connect before the first meeting.
