Church Community Engagement

Church Community Engagement provides networking opportunities and resources for our faculty, staff, students, and church ministry leaders related to exploring innovative worship practices.

The Worship Exchange Program is an ongoing exchange of ideas among church ministry leaders regarding the challenges and opportunities related to intergenerational worship practices and the creative use of the arts in worship with the goal of developing lifelong worshippers of Jesus Christ.

The Community Partners Directory is a collection of job, internship, and ministry needs submitted by local churches who have contacted the CWA with the hope of discovering current Samford students who would be good candidates.
