As a church located a few blocks from the University
of South Carolina campus, and in driving distance of other Columbia
universities and colleges, First Presbyterian Church has had ministry
to college students in varies ways over the years. Ministry among
students currently involves:
• A weekly College Sunday school class (10:00 – 10:50
am). The class is located on the 2nd floor of the Palmer
Office Building (1420 Lady Street) across from the Sanctuary.
• Periodic college lunches held on the church grounds after
the 11:15 am worship services. These lunches are provided and
hosted by church members.
• A variety of other events.
• Encouragement of area college campus ministries –
Campus Crusade for Christ (www.carolinacru.com),
The Navigators (web.sa.sc.edu/navigators/),
and RUF (www.usc.ruf.org).
Students and staff of these ministries are frequenters of our
worship services.
The church contact regarding ministry to college students is
