College culture promises freedom, yet many students still carry guilt or feel empty despite achieving their goals. We believe true peace and a full life are found only in Jesus (Rom. 8:1, John 10:10). Christ isn't just an addition to our lives—He is the center of everything we do.
Searching for truth in a culture without anchors leaves you adrift. Archimedes famously said, "Give me a firm place to stand and I will move the world." Scripture is that foundation. God’s Word is inerrant, life-giving, and practical—teaching us the only way to be saved and equipping us to walk with wisdom, clarity, and purpose (Col. 1:9–10).
You weren't made to do life alone (Gen. 2:18). Beyond fun events, we prioritize deep, meaningful friendships—a community where you are loved well, supported, and encouraged to grow closer to Christ (John 13:34-35; 1 John 3:16).
Thank you for your interest in FBC College! My name is Mike McGregor and I'm the Director of College at FBC.
Our ministry consists of many college students who are involved at FBC as members or regular attenders. Those students enjoy gathering with the church for worship on Sunday morning, as well as connecting with other church members as we are "scattered" throughout the week. Our ministry connects students actively to a local church, which we believe is vital to spiritual growth while in college and beyond.
Being a part of the church gives students the opportunity to build relationships with people in their stage of life as well as people older and younger than them. Students also receive rich teaching and are cared for spiritually by other church members and the pastors of the church. Students are also able to connect with fellow students at their respective campuses to study the Bible and be equipped to reach their campus with the Gospel!
We hope you visit us and feel free to reach out with any questions to
In Christ,
Mike McGregor
FBC College is centered around the church and relationally-driven. We want discipleship & evangelism to flow through the church, with the main event of the week being the Sunday morning gathering. We're also relationally-driven: we love and spend time with students, disciple and share the gospel with them, and cast vision for them to do the same towards others. One bonus of the relational approach is it doesn't get old. People never get tired of studying God's Word and spending time with people who love them well & push them to Christ.
Below are examples of things we do that are driven by this philosophy.

College students are welcome to attend worship on Sunday mornings at 10:30am. This is our big group outreach and discipleship meeting. Christian students will be discipled and encouraged in that time. Non-Christian students will hear the gospel there and see it lived out.

Bible For Life
BFL is the meeting an hour before Sunday morning worship. It's a great opportunity for students to connect with other students, fellowship together and receive teaching that's contextualized to the unique challenges they face as students. There's also free breakfast!
Join us Sundays at 9:15am (Rm 310) for breakfast & Bible study!
Campus Bible Studies allow students to connect mid-week with other FBC students and be spiritually encouraged. Because it's on campus it's also a strategic outreach opportunity since it's a much easier invite to an on-campus Bible Study than to church on a Sunday morning. It can be an easy entry point for new students into the ministry.
College Bible studies are happening for NSCU, UNC, Duke and local college students.

Students generally want things to do. Friday night events like a bonfire night, movie night, etc. or a corn-maze outing once a semester are an excuse to hang out. The fun activities we do aren't meant to draw new people, the relationships are. The fun activities are just an excuse to be together. These fun times are meant to deepen friendships and allow Christians to sharpen one another. They are also a great opportunity to invite non-Christians, where they can be "loved to life" by Christians displaying the hope and joy of Christ.

Retreat
Our annual retreat serves multiple purposes.
First, it allows students to get away from the stresses of school and life in order to focus on their relationship with God and be grown in their faith.
Second, it's arguably the best relationship-building time because of the opportunity to spend extended time together, have shared experiences, and make memories.
Third, it's a great opportunity to invite new students, whether Christian or non-Christian, who may be drawn to get away especially if it seems like a fun and interesting time.
Register today for our Fall 2026 Retreat - Sept 18-19, 2026!
