college ministry

Providentially placed at the edge of Clemson University, we are passionate about ministering to college students. While many Christian students view their college years as a time to simply attend a church and then move on, we eagerly extend an invitation to do more than that. We long for students to become part of our church family. In fact, the college community in which God has placed us is an integral part of our vision to “impact our community and the world by raising up countless university students and community members who are transformed by the Gospel and are serving others.”


Though we serve many students at Clemson, we welcome all area college students — Anderson University, Southern Wesleyan University, and Tri-County Tech — to worship with us and be involved in our ministries.

  • College Sunday school

    Sunday 9am, Fellowship Hall

    This semester, all the adults in the church, including college students, are meeting in the Fellowship Hall for Sunday School. We're studying The Enduring Community through large group teaching and table discussions. We are looking forward to having college students at our tables, getting to know them, and hearing their input on the church.

  • Adopt-a-student

    Adopt-a-student pairs students and families together. It’s an invitation for students and families to enter into each others lives and care for one another. Ideally, both the families and students are blessed through this relationship. We hope Adopt-a-Student provides a starting point for deeper relationships and involvement in the life of the church. CPC launches Adopt-A-Student at the start of each school year.
