July 15, 2026 12:00pm
The college years are a pivotal yet challenging season for faith, as many students arrive excited but often drift into doubt and distraction. Join Paul Worcester, Zac Workun, and Kyle Wiltshire as they discuss why college ministry matters now more than ever and how leaders can respond with clarity and biblical depth.This webinar will also introduce Thrive, a new Bible study designed to help college students and young adults move from merely surviving to building a resilient, Christ-centered faith—equipping you to better support and disciple the next generation.
Faith That Endures
For many young adults, the college years begin with excitement—but over time, they can drift into something else. Bad choices, temptation, and misused freedom often lead to sin, doubt, anxiety, compromise, shame, loneliness, distraction, and burnout. This is not what God intends for these crucial years.
In Thrive, Paul Worcester offers a Bible study for college students and young adults who want more than survival—they want a faith that endures. Grounded in Scripture, this study shows how God invites students into a life marked by confidence, peace, discipline, freedom, connection, and spiritual zeal.
God doesn’t want college students merely to get by. He offers purpose, hope, and love, and His Word provides a clear path to spiritual growth and lasting faith. Thrive equips young adults to build a resilient, Christ-centered life and discover how to truly thrive during the college years and beyond.
