Decorah Covenant College-Age Fellowship (DeCCAF)
The purpose of the DeCCAF ministry of Decorah Covenant Church (DCC) is to help college age individuals get connected to other Christian students and members of DCC for fellowship, mentoring, discipleship, and training.
What is DeCCAF all about?
The DeCCAF Ministry is a community of college students who are creating a place where we figure out together what it means to follow Jesus. We strive to build authentic community, serve our neighbors in need, and reach out to our friends. The vision is simple: build a community that radically lives out their faith with one another, that reaches out to their seeking friends, and that creates a Kingdom-minded community that is passionate about following Jesus and ministering to their neighbors in need through various serving opportunities.
Who is DeCCAF for?
DeCCAF is primarily composed of Luther College students, but is open to all 18-23 (or so) year olds—those attending NICC, those attending college out of town (who are back during breaks), those in Decorah doing internships, and those in that age range not enrolled in college.
DeCCAF is not only a community for Christians; nor is it a community only for those who attend DCC. DeCCAF is a community for everyone, no matter where they are on their spiritual journey. We hope you find DeCCAF to be an exciting place that constantly challenges you and gives you new things to think about whether you have been a follower of Jesus since you were a kid or are just starting to explore your faith. DeCCAF is a richer community because all kinds of people are free to bring their questions, struggles, doubts, hopes, and dreams.
Bible Study
The centrality of the scriptures in our faith requires us to dig regularly into God’s word. There are a number of Bible Study opportunities and home groups open to college students involving members of DCC. If you want more information or would like to get involved, contact Pastor Matt at DCCoffice@gmail.com.
Rides to Church!
If you need a ride to church, let us know and we will get you connected with another student who can give you a ride. Just email DCCoffice@gmail.com.
Mentoring & Discipleship
We have a mentoring and discipleship program that will allow you to either serve as a mentor to a peer or younger person, or be mentored by a peer or older person.
