In 2000, St. Michael's began a specific ministry for students at LeTourneau University, a private
Christian College located in Longview. Since then, this ministry has grown to include a monthly supper gathering for college and career
students and adults and a Morning Prayer service on campus.
We began a Sunday School class for college students but had to expand to include "career" adults who had
recently graduated from college. Many students, who met at LeTourneau or St. Michael's married. Some couples moved on but many
have stayed and become active members at St. Michael's. They are still active in the monthly suppers for this group and the ministries
of the church.
Instead of just a ministry "to" students, we try to involve them in the life and ministry of the church. Over the years, college
students have been involved in the music team, as Sunday School teachers, worship techs and sound techs. Our ministry on the campus of
LeTourneau University exposes many students to the rich and beautiful liturgy of the Episcopal Church through the office of
Morning Prayer.
