CCO staff members Sara Kann and Sandie Starr Everhart, as well as associate staff members Andy Kerr and Tim and Kathy Rankin, work together to reach students at Edinboro University.
Andy runs The Tuesday Night Thing, a young adult fellowship group which meets at The Hangout in Edinboro each week. We draw approximately 100 students together to fellowship as a community, hear a message, and worship. Though TNT 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 equip student leaders 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.
Sandie Starr Everhart devotes her energies to reaching out to student athletes at Edinboro through leading and facilitating Bible studies for athletic teams, organizing and conducting Team Chapels, and providing support and one-on-one mentoring to student athletes. She and her family also host dinners, Bible studies, and picnics for individual athletes and entire teams.
Community outreach is a final component of the ministry. The Tuesday Night Thing 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 local nursing home. Students participate in these projects to help those around them, connect with their peers, have meaningful conversations, and take the opportunity to step into leadership roles.
