As a college or university-aged student, you are a vital part of The City Church family. We have a deep love for you, and want to encourage and equip your emerging leadership in our community. And we want to honor your valuable contributions to the church and the mission of God.  Out of our love for you, and our desire to best minister to you, for the most part we don’t distinguish between “in-college” adults and “out-of-college” adults. Here’s why:

The image that the Bible most commonly uses to describe the church is that of “family.” One of our gospel identities is that we are family. So in everything we do, we ask how we can look as much like an actual family as possible.  Traditional families are not made up of one gender, one specific age group, or any one stage of life.  Instead, there is more depth, growth, perspective, and balance as we do life in intergenerational gatherings with single and married folks; men and women; teenagers and grandparents, and everyone in between. So in The City Church’s Villages and other regular gatherings, we encourage people of all ages and life stages, and both genders, to do life together. In this way, we truly live as the family of God, and find unity in diversity occur as you interact with folks who are perhaps a little unlike yourself.

We have a some specific ways to help you engage and plug in to The City Church family. 

First, we intentionally place Villages near TCU’s campus, with a hope to engage with Texas Weselyan and TCC campuses as well.  Since The City Church’s Villages are primarily formed geographically, you can expect these university-area Villages to be heavier in college-aged students. But following Titus 2:2-6, we do our best to ensure that there are “older men” in each Village to pour into and disciple college-aged men, and “older women” to love and train college-aged women. So our primary encouragement is to find a Village near you, to join us for All-Church Gatherings and Scattered Sundays, and to dive into doing life with others, in a community on mission.

Second, in realizing that college and university students, and other folks of a similar same age, are in a unique, transitional point in your lives, we host gatherings and events just for college students a few times each semester, and an annual college-aged retreat.
