Church and Community Relations

faith in their future

At Chowan, you’ll find that “Faith in Your Future” is more than a tagline. It’s a value that underscores everything we do. Our Christian faith commitment is what grounds us and motivates us—so we can help students discover all that they’re meant to be. Let’s take them places. Together.

Church and Community Relation works to promote and support the work of Campus Ministry, organizes the work of the Chowan Christian Service Association, Board, membership, and scholarship recipients, serves as a liaison with local ministers, churches, and denominational entities, and represents the University with local community organizations.


When I think of CCSA, opportunity comes to mind. CCSA gave me the opportunity to pursue my calling of going into ministry, and filled me with the tools & wisdom, growing me into the woman of God I am today and enhancing my Chowan journey.

Chowan Christian service association (CCSA)

Membership in the CCSA is open to dedicated Christians who are interested in and committed to helping students fulfill their call to ministry.
