College Ministries

At Canterbury we strive to provide a "church home" for college students in our area, as well as continue to nurture our own students that have grown up here and are away at school. The easiest way to communicate with students is through email and cell phones so that no matter where they are, they can feel their "church home" reaching out to them.  We want to keep in touch and reach out to them during this important time in their lives.  If you have a child who is away at college or know of a young person who attends college in our area, please contact Brian Ward at [email protected] or 972-213-6951.
