college ministry
Our primary focus for college ministry is to come alongside and support existing campus ministries. Our hope is to complement the work of campus ministries by providing a safe local church to which you can connect and belong as you explore and grow in your faith.
our heart for college ministry
-
We want to help students be a part of a larger body of believers during their college years. Whether it's here at Storyhill or at another church in the area we desire to help you find a way to meaningfully belong and serve in a local church.
-
Alongside students getting connected at a local church, we also see great value in what campus ministries offer in terms of discipleship and community. Partnering with campus ministries, we hope to help connect you with other students as you navigate the unique demographic and life stage you’re in.
-
There is much to be gained among your peers, but even more to be learned from other generations. Through opportunities like Connect-a-Cat, we make an intentional effort to make space for you to develop meaningful relationships with both younger and older generations.
connect-a-cat
Connect-a-Cat is about building meaningful connections between our Davidson students and individuals or families in our church. If you are a college student interested in connecting with a mentor or family, or if you are family or an individual interested in caring for and investing in a college student throughout their time at Davidson, this is for you! How often you get together is up to you, but we recommend at least a weekly touchpoint (text, call, etc.) and getting together twice a semester to build the relationship.
Contact our Connect-A-Cat Volunteer Coordinator, Mary Andrews for more information.
the table
Come join us at “The Table,” a weekly gathering for communion, prayer, and reflection that is a supplement to our 9:15 service. At The Table, we feast together on the bread of life and the cup of salvation, in response to Jesus’ call to “do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19). The Table takes place during the school year on Sunday mornings (except for the 2nd Sunday of the month) at 8:45 am in the youth room and will end by 9:05 am. The idea for the Table came from some of our college students who desired to take communion on a weekly basis, and they continue to lead our time together!
The program runs June 1 – August 8, 2027 and interns are allowed one week of vacation during that time. Interns work part-time (20 hours/week) and receive a $3000 stipend, plus a host family if needed. Applications open January 6th and will be accepted until April 7th, but you are encouraged to apply early if interested. Anyone who applies can expect to hear if they have received a spot or not by May 1. Anyone who has completed the internship before or is in their final year of high school will not be considered for the program until after April 7th.
summer ministry internship
-
Ministry Interns will participate in a summer-long Bible study and a weekly book discussion. These individuals examine several spiritual practices that will give time for stillness and going deeper into their faith. We challenge our Ministry Interns to serve in meaningful ways. Lastly, they will receive individual training from their ministry area supervisors through one-on-one weekly meetings.
-
Ministry Interns serve in a specific ministry area and learn the soft and hard skills required to contribute to that ministry in a meaningful way. Throughout the summer, Ministry Interns interact and build relationships with ministry partners, elders, and other staff at Storyhill. We aim to help each participant consider how to be ministry-minded regardless of their chosen career path.
-
Ministry Interns will build Christ-centered community with the other college-aged students that are a part of the Ministry Intern cohort. We will have exciting activities planned for summer interns to help create the strong bond this program can build. Summer interns are also expected to lead by helping to create community with other college students at college Bible study.

summer college bible study
Looking to grow in faith and connect with other college students?
Each summer we offer a fun, laid-back weekly Bible study designed for college students and college-age friends who are around for the summer.
We’ll gather for meaningful conversations, scripture study, and community. The study will be accessible to those totally new to the Bible and those who have studied the Bible their whole life, and we are intentional about building community together.
