God has been so kind to Taylors College. 

We continue to see college-aged students (some in a university setting, others who work full time), return to hear from God’s word, grow in community, serve, and carry the needs of others around them faithfully. “Deep Roots, Strong Limbs” is said often within our ministry. Our College ministry is rooted in a deep desire to see students grow into mature disciples of Jesus Christ. We operate with the understanding that these young adults are not only the church of tomorrow but an integral part of the church today. We aim to prepare college students to be leaders; active participants now and in their next church, business, family and beyond. Our prayer is that every student leaves this ministry rooted in Christ, equipped to serve, and sent; ready to impact the world for the Kingdom of God.

The Gathering is a cornerstone of Taylors College Ministry, offering young adults a mid-week opportunity to connect deeply with one another and with the Lord. This service creates space for vibrant community, intentional corporate prayer and worship, with scriptural preaching in an expository style. It’s ultimately a mid-week break for young adults to have a pause on the week and be encouraged for the journey. The Gathering utilizes students to serve with hospitality, check-ins, media, worship, and guest follow up. Currently, Alex Smith, Minister of College, is preaching through Galatians. 

Life Groups are an integral part of Taylors College Ministry, providing college students with a weekly opportunity to grow in their faith through small, intentional communities. Our Life Group is comprised of small groups at tables that focus discussion on the current sermon series. We love this approach as it helps us reiterate and continue the conversation of what is being taught during services on Sunday mornings at Taylors FBC. This has been a great success with the help of adult guides that sit at these tables and help carry the conversation. The role of these table guides is to assist in hosting the table discussions. Alex presents, answering questions as needed, and gathering prayer requests for the week. No lesson planning is required. We do ask for additional help on Sundays with Big Breakfast, setting up coffee, and other small hospitality measures.

Converge is a cornerstone event for our college ministry that is held in the winter in partnership with the South Carolina Baptist Collegiate Ministry (SCBCM). This conference brings together college students from across the state for a weekend of worship, teaching, and fellowship. Converge offers a time to get away for the weekend and escape the weekly routine. This year, the theme for Converge was “More than”. From the preaching, worship, breakouts, and small group time we are praising God for three of our students answering the call the Missions.
