Ministry

College

The College Ministry at COTC fosters a community where college-aged students can grow in their faith and integrate into the body of Christ. We aim to empower students to take ownership of their faith and continue living it out within the church long after college ends. We aim to serve as a bridge, helping college-aged students find their place and purpose in the church as they transition into adulthood.

The Gathering
First Thursday

Our college students have a Thursday rhythm. The first Thursday of each month is The Gathering. This is where all college aged students gather together for food, worship, and teaching. The remaining Thursdays of each month, students meet in coed community groups lead by adults in homes to engage in conversations based on the previous Sunday sermon.

Community Groups

The way of Jesus is best practiced with others. Join other college-aged students in community groups that meet around the city on Thursday nights for a time of Bible study, prayer, and deeper connection. To learn more or find a group that best fits you, check out our groups page below.

Mentoring

We desire deep change through transformational discipleship that focuses on growth and healing as we pursue the formation of people in our College Ministry. Mentorship is a pivotal part of our growth as we encourage and challenge one another in our walks with Jesus. Some mentoring is for a needed season in our lives and others can last much longer. If you are looking for a mentor we ask you to fill out the form below.

Community Group Leading

We are looking for couples that live in the Franklin area and are passionate about college aged students to open their home on Thursday nights and lead discussion.

Meet-Ups

Our College Meet-Ups aim to connect college students within our church and the broader church community. This is where any interested college student can come together for friendship and fun, and is both for the churched and the unchurched of Nashville! This is an excellent first step for new students to be introduced to the College Ministry at COTC.
