Opportunities (ON HOLD DURING THE PANDEMIC)
SNL - Sunday Night Life takes place on Sunday evenings from 6:30-8:00p. During SNL students can expect to have lots of fun, have time to get to know other young Christians, and grow in their faith together. Typically, there is a fun fellowhsip event, food, and devotion and prayer time. (These meetings are currently postponed until further notice due to COVID-19 restrictions)
Service - Service is an essential piece of the faith life of a Christ follower. ELCS partners with the the Western Carolina Rescue Mission and ABCCM to provide opportunties for service. During the fall and winter, students will be help serve in the community at the Rescue Mission serving meals to the homeless.
