College

“Because of being involved in a larger community, I was given a greater sense of what life would be like after college.” -Former Birmingham Southern College student

Cahaba Park’s intergenerational approach to ministry is considered a strength, for members of all ages.

We believe that the body of Christ benefits from interactions with members of all ages. College students can learn much from being involved in a variety of activities with a variety of church members, and the church body, in turn, can learn much from them.

Like any other member, college students are encouraged to go to Sunday school, K-Group, Bible studies, and Sunday morning worship services.  We believe we would be doing our church, and the students that come, a great disservice by isolating groups within the Body.

At the same time, we recognize the desire and need for college students to assemble separately. Our college director plans monthly gatherings specifically for students—cookouts, service projects, and special events. This allows students from schools such as Birmingham Southern, Jefferson State, Samford and UAB to get to know one another and fellowship as they grow in Christ.

In addition, we have recently begun the “Adopt-A-Student” program for those who are interested. Adopt-A-Student matches students with families so that students can have a home-away-from-home. If you would like more information about the Adopt-A-Student program, contact Sara Walker.
