Covenant Presbyterian Church - Charlotte, NC

College Ministry

Covenant's College Council

Covenant Presbyterian has more than 100 college students enrolled in colleges and universities around the country. The College Council acts as a liaison to our college students who may be away at school or here in Charlotte. College Council is responsible for communication to students about events at Covenant. Along with offering invitations to student gatherings during the summer and over Christmas, the Council also ministers to students individually.

For more information or to get involved, contact Martin Pruitt.

Secret Saint Program

Every year Covenant pairs college students with Covenant members who both sign up to participate in the Secret Saint Program. These anonymous saints shower college students with gifts and cards during holidays, exam days, and "just because" days in-between to help keep them connected to their Covenant family. Students, if you would like to participate, please sign up at the link below to provide your school address as well as some information about some of your favorite things. You can sign up whether you are college freshman, sophomore, junior or senior. Adults, if you are interested in a fun ministry and would like to become a secret saint this fall, please register below.  For more information, contact Martin Pruitt.

College Connection

Keeping College Students Connected to Covenant

The early years of young adulthood are a vital stage of development in everyone’s life. Following High School, Covenant members often attend college, enter into the workforce or take time to travel and try new experiences. Covenant Presbyterian believes that in whatever a young adult chooses to do with these years, that they maintain a connection to the Church. Covenant College Connection is dedicated to supporting these young adults in every way that we can, keeping them connected to their high school friends and Covenant Family, connecting them with caring congregations away from home and reminding them that they are valued and loved.
