On February 19, Chowan University was featured at Ross Baptist Church for WMU Focus Sunday. Director of Church and Community Relations, Lou Ann Gilliam, and the University Gospel Choir led the worship service.

Gilliam gave greetings on behalf of the University and shared how Chowan ministers to and with students through Chowan Campus Ministry. She shared how Minister to the University Rev. Mari Wiles plans a variety of mission experiences, including a mission trip to Santiago de Cuba.  The Gospel Choir, led by Minister of Engagement Calvin Carter, shared four gospel songs and each student gave a brief testimony.       

“It was an honor for Chowan to be featured on WMU Focus Sunday. WMU has always been a champion for missions. I appreciate how Ross Baptist celebrates Chowan’s contributions to missions on campus, in the community, and globally.” shared Gilliam. “The church was so warm and welcoming to us; it was a privilege to worship and fellowship with them.”
