Our Approach
An Immersive & Unique Experience
Students will be invited into a tight-knit community experience where they can thrive in their relationship with God, their peers, mentors, and teachers at Cottonwood Church. This program immerses students in opportunities to participate in local church life and service, and weekly activities that promote spiritual growth.
Practical Training for God-Given Purpose
With a learning-by-doing approach, students are strategically integrated into specific ministries at Cottonwood Church in a way that positions them to grow in their unique, God-given gifts. The training process will be guided by ministry leaders and mentors to help in the discovery of the student’s purpose.
Christ-Centered Education
Our goal is to set up students for their future while providing a biblically-based education on our campus. Cottonwood Church partners with Southeastern University, a regionally accredited institution, which allows students to take courses that are delivered in a hybrid format of online and face-to-face instruction.
