College

Crossroads College Ministry exists to empower a new generation to actively live as the Church, with a heart for making disciples in their communities and on their campuses. We strive to be a place where 18- to 24-year-olds can belong and become who God has called them to be.

What sets CCM apart?

Whether you’re attending a university, working, or taking a gap year, there’s no shortage of ministries in the Triangle where college-aged adults could belong. What sets Crossroads College Ministry apart, though, is our environment of discipleship. At CCM, you won't be another face in the crowd. This is a place where you can be known, accepted, and welcomed as an integral part of our community from day one.

Read this blog post to get a better glimpse of our crew here at CCM—from the honesty with which they share their challenges to the joy they find in being part of a diverse group of students who are all seeking to honor the Lord.

Get Involved

...on Wednesday nights
At Crossroads, we desire to create real opportunities for you to connect with your fellow college-aged students. And we’ve found that meaningful connection often happens best when the focus stays on people and relationships.

Our college students meet every Wednesday night for community, discipleship, and co-ed small groups where you can ask questions, be yourself, and build genuine friendships.

Join us in Rm 211 at the Millbrook Campus from 6:30 to 8:30pm for authentic spiritual conversations and the kind of close-knit community that will get you through these college years!
...on Sunday mornings
Crossroads is a multicultural and multigenerational church that’s committed to serving our diverse community. At CCM, we encourage you to embrace your place in our church—not just as a college student but as a full-fledged member of Crossroads! Our desire is to connect college students so that they can attend services and volunteer together every Sunday.

No matter your campus or service hour, we want to help you find your next step by serving on teams like:
  • Connections: Connect with Roberta O'Connor at the Millbrook Campus or Jennifer Kicklighter at the Wake Forest Campus to be one of the friendly faces welcoming others into our services.
  • Kids Ministry: Connect with Kathryn Putnam at the Millbrook Campus or Sarah Clark at the Wake Forest Campus to lend a hand in our children's classes.
  • Students Ministry: Connect with Mark Stroupe at the Millbrook Campus or Tim Murphy at the Wake Forest Campus to model what living for Christ looks like in the next stage of life.

...through internships
At Crossroads Fellowship, internships are designed to help you grow both personally and professionally. Our interns gain practical experience in ministry leadership, organization, communication, and creative work—all while being on mission for Christ.

Through our hands-on roles, you’ll learn how a church operates, develop strong interpersonal skills, and take part in shaping our diverse, welcoming community. Along the way, you’ll build a strong network of mentors and peers who will support your faith journey and your future career goals—both at Crossroads and beyond.

We offer internships to college students for class credit. Go HERE to view available roles in a range of departments—from front-facing ministry to behind-the-scenes creative support!
