College Ministry

We love that DCC is located in a college town and many of our members and regular attenders are Luther or NICC faculty, staff, students, emeriti or alumni. We believe one of the ways we serve our community is by providing college students with a place to belong and explore what they believe. We love the energy they bring to our worship and the ways they challenge us to think more deeply about our faith.

At DCC, our college students are an integral part of everything we do. They lead worship, teach Sunday School, volunteer in our nursery and are a vital part of our Life Groups. We believe our Kingdom impact is multiplied when we invest in the lives of students, giving them opportunities to learn and develop their gifts in the four years they spend in Decorah, so that when they go out from here they are equipped and empowered for ministry.

College Ministry Team

Our College Ministry Team is a group of individuals who are committed specifically to our college students. Maybe you are looking for a mentor or a way to get more deeply connected here at church. Maybe you're feeling lost and just have so many questions. Maybe you have a specific situation that has arisen that you need assistance and support in and through. Maybe you're just looking for someone to talk to who isn't a parent or friend. These individuals are here for you and would love if you reached out to them! Please scroll down to check out our College Ministry Team, and email the church office if you would like an individual's contact information.
