At Idlewild College Ministry we seek to help college students take their first step with Jesus, or their next step. We offer many opportunities for college students to get plugged in and pushed to grow in their walk with Jesus. This is a safe place, from the student who grew up in church all of their life to the skeptic who comes with many questions. We hope you can join our family here at Idlewild! Check out how to get involved below, and follow us on Instagram for up to date information!

ICM Nights

Tues – 8:00pm – Idlewild Student Building – Fall & Spring Semester

Our weekly gathering that meets on campus at Idlewild Church. During the Fall & Spring semesters we meet here for a time to hang, praise and worship, and hear a message from the Bible. The service is college age specific, and is a great time to get to meet other college students in the area!

Summer Outreach

Tues – 6:00pm – Idlewild Student Building – Summer Semester

During the summers, Idlewild College Ministry transitions from a time of gathering to a time of scattering. We meet at 6pm on the Idlewild campus, where we break into teams to serve across our community. This includes things such as widow visits, street evangelism, VBS for inner city kids, and many more opportunities. We love that we get to serve our community! Contact Erin Smithson at 813-264-8797 to get plugged into a Ministry Team, or just show up!

Sunday Gatherings

Sun – 9:15am Service & 11am Small Group – Idlewild

Come out on Sunday’s to join the whole church in a time of worship and to hear from our Pastor! We meet for service at 9:15am, and head over to the Loft for small groups at 11:00am. We offer guys and girls classes, and aim to create a safe environment for college students to come and learn about Jesus and grow in their walk!

Summer City Groups

Sun – 6:00-7:00pm – Panera Brread – 6/2-6/30

We believe that community is greater than isolation, and that everyone needs to belong to community!  The gatherings are college student led, run from 6:00pm-7:00pm, and are centered around the book of James. This time is a time to hang, and have open dialogue about the Bible with college age peers.

To find a group, sign up below! A Group leader will reach out to you shortly after.

Discipleship

Transitioning into adulthood can be tough and it can be really tough without wise counsel. It’s been said if you are facing something new, follow someone old.  Our church is full of wise people who are eager to come alongside you for a year, share their life with you, and help you navigate through the transition of adulthood. Don’t wait another day before jumping into a discipleship relationship.
