College-Age Ministry
This is a place for young people ages 18-25 to connect in both small and large group settings, have fun together, and see one another rooted firm in biblical truth. We want you to have a place to belong, where you can find strong relationships and experience-wise guidance as we walk through these seasons of life together.
Whether you’re here year-round or only back in the summers, we have something for YOU.
The Forum
Fun. Food. Forum.
The FORUM is a place to eat awesome food, meet great friends, and worship the Lord with our hearts and minds.
Come engage some of Christianity’s hottest topics in a safe environment where the goal is to think biblically and make much of Jesus! Bring your friends and check it out!
Messiah pickup: in front of Eisenhower @ 6:45 p.m.
LifeGroups
Weekly LifeGroup meetings are the place to share life and dig deep into the Word – to experience Jesus and grow in Christ together. Come anytime you can! Everyone is always welcome!
Wednesdays @ 7-9. p.m. during the school year.
Contact Tim Jones for the location of bible studies.
Mentor Groups
We desire to see college-age people mature in their faith and be prepared for family, career, and service – or whatever else God has in store. One of the most effective ways our ministry can do this is through Mentor Groups.
NEXT MENTOR GROUP: Feb. 12 – Mar. 26
(No meetings Mar. 5 & 12 for Spring Break)

What is a Mentor Group?
A Mentor Group is a group of 5-7 College-Age people, each paired with an older, spiritually mature adult from our church. All participants listen to assigned episodes from the “Becoming Something” podcast during the week and then meet as a group to discuss the episode. Episode topics include finding purpose, developing discipline, money management, family, dating, etc. Breakfast snacks will be served at the meetings!
*Please note that adult mentors are not licensed counselors and should not be utilized for this purpose. If counseling might be a more appropriate outlet for your particular needs, please see West Shore’s Counseling Ministry.

When Do Mentor Groups Meet?
Mentor Groups meet for 5 weeks on Sunday mornings from 9-10:15 a.m. in the Student Café. On week 6, mentor and mentee pairs will meet off-campus at a time and place they determine. Mentor Groups officially end after 6 weeks, although we encourage mentor pairs to continue to meet for as long as desired upon mutual agreement.
*Mentors will also be asked to attend two additional mentor-only meetings on Sunday mornings from 9-10:15 a.m. One will be the week before groups begin and one will be the week after groups end.
