Starting Point and College Lake Day

It is always a great time to see the college students rolling back into Clemson for the fall.  They are full of energy and excitement.  Each year we have the privilege to see college students desire to grow and mature in their walk with the Lord, and we get to them commit to the body of the church.

We recently had our Starting Point meeting.  This is a chance for college students to learn about our Connecting Point Groups (CP groups).  Our CP groups provide our church body an opportunity to live life together seeking intimacy with God, fellowship among believers, and influence with those who are in the community.  We have more servants equipped to lead CP groups this year than ever before!  It is great to see God provide!  We have groups for freshmen men and women, sophomore men and women, upperclassmen co-eds and men's and women's, international men's and women's.  We have also have small groups for the Bridge Program at Clemson and Southern Wesleyan University.

College Lake Day
Our Starting Point meeting consisted of 200 attendees.  All of our CP leaders attended, providing college students with a chance to meet the leaders, learn what CP groups are all about, and let us know if they desired to connect with a certain group.  Praise God that He uses the Holy Spirit in Crosspoint Church to continue to make disciples and use us to mature his children into the likeness of Jesus!

We also had a college lake day.  This was a great time of fellowship and assimilation of new college students into the life of Crosspoint.  The Welborns' Adult CP Group graced us by cooking some excellent hot dogs and burgers and providing us with sides and snacks.  We ate, played volleyball, threw frisbee, played corn hole, partook in the legendary battle melon game, and enjoyed each others' company.

What a blessing it is to see college students who could be different in every way find unity in Christ and be a part of the body of Crosspoint Church.
