CCO Ministry at Church of the Good Samaritan
College ministry at the Church of the Good Samaritan is made possible through a partnership with the Coalition for Christian Outreach. The Coalition for Christian Outreach (CCO) partners with churches and organization with the goal of transforming college students to transform the world. As CCO staff, Dan and Katie have an intentional presence at Eastern University and West Chester University, although Good Sam is the home of college students from all kinds of different colleges and universities.

Church
Sunday Morning
Sunday morning church is our largest gathering of college students throughout the week. Good Sam has a variety of services that you can attend including Rite I at 7:30, Rite II at 9:00, and New Chapel at 11:15 (Sept. 17) as well as many opportunities to serve within the life of church. We encourage students to try out a variety of different worship styles.
Local Campuses
The College Ministry at Church of the Good Samaritan aims to reach students from the many area colleges, in particular Eastern University and West Chester University as well as the students that are already coming each week.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned during the last few years of pandemic ministry it’s that consistent, accessible, presence matters. The more we've been a consistent presence, the more curiosity there is. We believe that God became human—in what we call the incarnation—to be present with humanity. And because of that, we come to campus to be present in small ways, sometimes with a free donut. We know that presence matters to students! Whether it’s promoting Good Sam at Area Church Day, book and Bible Studies on campus, attending weekly chapel, or one on one discipleship you will often find Dan and Katie on one of the local campuses.

Young Adults
Tuesday Nights
Every week at 7:30pm the young adult (post college) group meets at the "Good Sam Commons," weather permitting, or inside the Church. This is a space for you to spend time in fellowship with your peers. Often conversations turn to scripture and a discussion on a variety of topics centered around the intersection of life and spirituality. For more information contact Dan Garrison Edwards (dan.edwards@good-samaritan.org).
