OUR MISSION
The College Ministry of Harris Creek exists to help college students actively engage with the local church.
About College Ministry
In our world today, it is far too common for college students to disengage from the church, if not fall away altogether. That’s why our primary goal for college students is to help them stay actively engaged with the local church during these formative years. What does an actively engaged student look like? It means they are engaged in the community by participating in a Life Group. It means they commit to investing their time by serving the church internally. Finally, it means they live on mission by serving others in their sphere of influence.

FAQs
Is there a weekly service for college students?
Yes, we offer a 7p service that caters specifically to college students and young adults, but anyone is welcome! This service is the same service as our morning 9a and 11a services, just at night! This is a great way to get to know college students and young adults in Waco – come join us!
What’s the best way to stay up to date with upcoming college events?
We send out a regular college e-mail that will have all the info you need to know! E-mail our College Minister, Nate Hilgenkamp to join the list! We also post event reminders on our Instagram – follow us to stay in the loop on what’s going on: @hcreekcollege!
What are some other events that you do throughout the year?
As a college ministry, the two main things we do weekly are Life Groups and our 7p service. Once a month, at our 7p service, we host an after party to develop community as a college ministry. On top of that, we partner with our Sisterhood and Men’s Ministry throughout the year to join them in what they’re doing – from bible studies, to topical discussions, and worship nights. We also have a podcast called “Becoming Something” that is designed for anyone in their 20-30s – check it out!
What does a typical Life Group look like?
Our Life Groups are led by two Harris Creek College students who are passionate about making disciples. Each week at Life Group, members will share about their faith, hold each other accountable, and encourage one another. Life Group is vital to what we do at Harris Creek – this is where the church is the Church!
What are some other ways I can get connected to Harris Creek?
Beyond showing up on Sundays and at our College Ministry events, there are plenty of ways to get connected to the church. We have a ton of college students who volunteer in all areas of our church. To find other service opportunities check out our Serve Page!
