FPC College Connection - A Church Home for Students

The church is located a few blocks from the University of South Carolina campus, and in driving distance of other Columbia universities and colleges. Ministry among students includes:
- Sunday worship at 8:30 a.m., 11:15 a.m., and 6:00 p.m.
- A College Sunday School class (10:00 – 10:50 a.m.) in Room 209 of the Thornwell Educational Building.
- Winter Topic - 1 Samuel
- Teachers - Jon Dando, Sammy Rhodes
- The Class - The college class provides a place where college students can grow together in Christ while deepening their understanding of the gospel of grace and the relevance of the Scriptures to every aspect of life. The desire of the class is to provide students with the opportunity to examine the Scriptures, enjoy close fellowship with other college and university men and women, and build relationships with adults in the church.
- Periodic college lunches held on the church grounds after the 11:15 a.m. worship services.
- Spring 2012 Semester Lunch Schedule - 1/22, 2/19, 3/25
