Mobile College Ministry

Making friends has never been hard for me; however, I had struggled to find lifelong Christian friends who share the same values as me. It wasn’t until about halfway through my freshman year I found the MCM and immediately knew I had found my place. When I first got invited by a classmate, they instantly took me in with open arms and became my brothers and sisters within a short period of time. I always look forward to every time we meet, because despite what I am going through, they never fail to bring a smile to my face. I was having some struggles with my purpose and knowing where God wanted me, but this ministry has helped me to know exactly where I need to be. This ministry makes me feel valued and has taught me to be more at the hands and feet of Jesus, and my faith has never been stronger. It is such a blessing to have like-minded friends to be able to walk with in my spiritual life who encourage me every day. I would not be the same person as I am today without the MCM, and I cannot thank God enough for bringing this group into my life. It has brought me so much joy and has truly made my college experience exceed my expectations.

The MCM has been an invaluable resource for me during college. The things that stand out to me the most about this group are the closeness of its members and the consistent desire for spiritual growth that permeates it. The relationships I have been able to form through the MCM have not only helped me to recognize how I can grow, but they have also facilitated that growth. Moreover, through the continuous passion and kindness expressed by leaders and members alike, I have been taught many lessons about God, His view of my life, and how I can be confident in His word and provision. Between Bible studies, meals, tailgates, retreats, and game nights (among many other activities), there is constantly some opportunity to connect with others, to be encouraged, and to fulfill your diverse needs. I am so glad to be a part of this community, and I look forward to remaining active for as long as I can.

About two years ago I moved down from Tennessee to Fairhope, Alabama, and during that time I took two gap years working to try and save for school. During those two years I constantly struggled to find a church college group that was active on that side of the bay. I tried multiple groups but they were all lacking a real sense of community and were rarely active. One morning I decided to travel across the bay to Mobile to go to church with my grandparents. That is where I bumped into Rob for the first time. From there the MCM has kept me active in a community of fellow believers, which is something I had been searching for. The people of the MCM have not only entered my life but more importantly changed it for the better in many ways, with the main reason being that my relationship and knowledge of God has grown by leaps and bounds. Having a community of like-minded believers tends to help one grow in their faith. Through this group I have been able to also make a plethora of friendships and memories that I hope to carry for the rest of my life.
