CCO Campus Ministry

CCO Staff member Sara Kann and CCO associate staff members, Andy Kerr, and Tim and Kathy Rankin work together to reach students at Edinboro University.

Andy runs The Gathering, a young adult fellowship group hosted by McLane Church in Edinboro on Tuesday nghts. Each week, we draw approximately 100 students together to fellowship as a community, hear a message, and worship. Though The Gathering only meets once a week, the community continues throughout the week. There are small groups that meet almost every night of the week all across town and campus. Together, we seek to reach out to the campus and the community, providing opportunities to get involved, serve our peers, and lead.

Another way we build community, reach out to the campus, and build students up is through the Potter’s House, which Sara directs. The Potter’s House is an intentional Christian community focused on outreach, hospitality, and further developing the faith of the women who live there. It is a large house right across the street from Edinboro’s campus that accommodates seven college women each year. At this house, we host our annual beginning-of-the-year Pig Roast in the back yard, as well as numerous get-togethers throughout the year. The women in the house commit to doing a Bible study, eating meals together, and having a weekly house meeting.

Community outreach is a final component of the ministry. The Gathering and the Potter’s House work together to reach into the community of the town and the university. In recent years, we have been involved in projects with organizations such as the Salvation Army, Habitat for Humanity, the Women’s Care Center, and the local nursing home. Students participate in these projects to help those around them, connect with their peers, have meaningful conversations the opportunity to step up into leadership. Contact any one of us to get involved!
