College Connections
Help connect Colorado high school graduates to a faith community! The Episcopal Church in Colorado has many opportunities for students to connect to local churches and college ministries near their campus. This often helps both parents and students make the transition to college easier.
If you know of a student, or if you are a student yourself, who’d like to be connected to a faith community, please submit your/their name, college/university, email, and phone number (and parent’s address) and we will reach out and connect them to Episcopal campus ministries and/or local churches.
