The Collegiate Ministry at Swartz First Baptist is like most college students: growing and changing. And that growth is guided by our church’s mission of “Developing Devoted Disciples.” But that statement is more than a slogan. It’s our goal as we provide students and young professionals a place to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.

We’re discovering what a devoted disciple is and how God would have us live. We’re deepening our worship of the Lord. We’re telling others what God has done for us and for them. And God is making Himself real to us.

So, how do you get involved? It’s pretty easy actually

Just show up!

...On Sundays. We have two worship services to choose from, depending on your sleeping habits. The early worship kicks off at 8:00 a.m. for those who rise early. The late service begins at 10:45 a.m. for those who need a little more sleep. You need to know that both services are the same, with blended worship that leans contemporary and rock solid, exegetical preaching. But don’t forget our Collegiate Bible Study at 9:30 a.m. in our Music Suite, which is sandwiched between our two worship services.

...On Wednesdays. A meal is served on the first Wednesday of each month free for college students from 5:00-6:10 p.m. in our Fellowship Hall. Just give your name and phone number to the person taking up money, tell them you are a college student and your meal is free. Hang around for our Fresh Word Worship from 6:30-7:40 p.m. in our Worship Center. Our praise band leads dynamic worship each week before a powerful message from God’s Word that will stir your mind and spirit.

Now what If you are running too late for breakfast? Don’t worry about it because we’ll serve breakfast and juice along with Bible study. The Bible is our textbook as we study and discuss its’ relevance to our everyday lives. If you are a university student (undergrad or grad) or college-age in the work force, visit Swartz First Baptist. We’re ready for you.
