College & Career

The College and Career Ministry is for those between the ages of 18 – 24, who are attending College or those recently entering their new careers.

The College and Career Ministry of Summer Grove Baptist Church exists to equip college students and those recently entering their new careers with the tools they need to grow in their relationship with God and each other through Bible studies, small groups, special events and other fun activities.  We know this time of life is filled with excitement and opportunity, but can also be a time of confusion and frustration so we strive to make a place to connect with other believers and to seek and find out more information about their faith!   And to encourage them to use the gifts God has given them to serve and nurture others in their relationship with the Lord!

Each Week
