Winthrop PSA: Seeks to minister to the specific needs of students while they are at college. We are children of God who have left the security of family and ventured into the wilderness of new ideas, choices, and possibilities. We share a faith heritage as well as a thirst for knowledge, wisdom, and truth. We share a belief in ecumenical cooperation and in the oneness of the Body of Christ. We are a vital part of the church and its mission. We experience God's grace in the classroom, on the playing fields, in relationships with people, in service to others, in seeking justice, as well as in worship, prayer, study of the Scriptures, and in congregations. PSA programs are held at our Presbyterian Student Center (412 Park Ave) behind Oakland Avenue Presbyterian Church (421 Oakland Ave, two doors down from the president's house). We offer many opportunities to gather for fellowship or service. You are invited to come to all or one. On Sundays, we meet for worship at 11:00 at Oakland Ave Presbyterian Church, and then you are invited to stay for a home-cooked lunch especially for college students. This ministry is in conjunction with Oakland Avenue Presbyterian Church and Providence Presbytery. Contact John O'Kain, Director of Presbyterian Campus Ministry (803) 327-2006 ex 231.
