Welcome to Davidson!
We have an exciting year of fellowship ahead of us with Westminster Fellowship, and it would be a joy to have you join us!
· Perhaps you’ve been raised as a Christian all your life, and find yourself searching for a community gathered around worship, fellowship, and Bible Study.
· Perhaps you find yourself wrestling with profound questions about who you are, who God is, or what life is all about.
· Perhaps you have always hated church, but find Jesus a compelling person.
We welcome you, no matter what your background or convictions may be. Our hope is to encounter God’s love through fellowship and discipleship with Jesus Christ. Bring your questions, bring your doubts—we welcome them all in the name of Jesus!
Grace and peace,
Andrew Scales
Associate Pastor for Campus and Youth Ministry

Bible study is held during the academic year on Tuesdays at 12:15 pm 'til 1:15 pm in the meeting room by the T.V. next to the information desk in the college Union. This mid-week lunch and Bible discussion is co-sponsored by Presbyterian, Episcopal, United Methodist, and Catholic campus ministries, and the college chaplains. Lunch is served from 12:45-1:30 pm. A small donation is welcome. Study begins at 1:00 pm.
Student Center
DCPC has a special room just for Davidson College students! Using your Davidson ID, you may access this room 24/7 from the patio of the church that faces the campus. Snacks and drinks are always in the refrigerator and are provided by the church’s Campus Ministry Committee for students to enjoy in the room.
Ways for Davidson students to be involved in the life of DCPC
Worship
DCPC has worship every Sunday morning at 8:30 in Lingle Chapel and 11:00 in the Sanctuary.
Adopt-a-Student
DCPC families and DC students can sign up to “adopt each other” for the year. Families invite their adopted student over for meals, to sit with them in church, and provide a family away from home. Contact
Donna Hatfield for more information.
Affiliate Members
Students are encouraged and invited to become affiliate members of DCPC at any time during their studies at Davidson. Affiliate members retain their full church membership in their home church, but also connect themselves, in an official way, to the DCPC during their time at school. Affiliate members will be received at any session meeting. Contact
Andrew Scales for more information.
Music Ministry
Students are encouraged to join in one of DCPC’s choirs. The Chancel Choir rehearses from 7:30 – 9:30 pm on Thursdays and sings for the 11:00 am service. Students can join with professors and townspeople in creating great music. The Geneva Choir rehearses from 5:00-6:00 pm on Sundays and sings at the 8:45 am service. This small, intergenerational group sings for a smaller, more intimate worship service.
