Celtic Cross on Presbyterian College Campus

The Office of Spiritual Life at Presbyterian College serves as a resource and support for the ministry of congregations, larger church bodies, and other church-related institutional partners.

At PC, we understand our work of church relations to be about nurturing a healthy ecosystem of calling through supporting congregations and nurturing leaders for the church. This involves guest speaking and preaching at churches, leading vocational discernment workshops (on campus and off campus) with church youth groups, and supporting our Alumni in Ministry.

As a way of intentionally living out our Presbyterian Church (USA) identity, we have launched the Presbyterian Promise scholarship, signed partnership agreements with seminaries, and host the School of Theology for the five PCUSA presbyteries in the state of South Carolina.

As part of our ecumenical and interfaith work of supporting leaders in ministry, we have partnered with the Lake Institute on Faith and Giving to offer the Executive Certificate in Religious Fundraising.

Resources

Walking with Youth as They Discern Life After High School

A great workshop for youth leaders who are volunteers and staff alike. In this workshop, we will unpack responses from current youth about the realities of preparing for life after high school, explore best practices for helping youth discern life’s next steps, and discuss ways to equip youth to cope with today’s stress while framing opportunities for the future.

Vocational Discernment for Youth and Young Adults

This workshop, geared toward current high school students, combines practical resources from Career Research and Testing, Inc with readings from scripture to help discover one’s motivated skills and spiritual gifts. Combined with meaningful conversations and debrief, youth will begin to discover their uniqueness and their call as a Child of God.

Alumni Serving in Ministry

Join us for quarterly Zoom calls as a time for connection and encouragement.
