Student Comments
| "I came to UNC with the faith that God was with me and that He would guide me to the places where He wanted me to be. It didn’t occur to me that there were more people in my dorm than lived in my hometown. I needed to find my niche. I went to the welcome back picnic at the Baptist Student Union and was invited to go to church with some people who went to Hillsong. I walked in the doors and was greeted by friendly people who were honestly happy that I was there. As time progressed I realized that this was the family God intended for me where I have not only been encouraged to meet new people while learning about my faith, but I have also been encouraged to grow as a person discovering her gifts and talents. The biggest blessings of my college career have been hearing God’s call on my life and finding the church family that supports me in any way they can whether it be teaching preschoolers, VBS, music, or children’s church knowing that there are people cheering me on as I run the race towards God’s plan for my life." — Felecia Clements "I came to HillSong by accident. I was planning to go to another church but I missed the van. My roommate at the time had been planning to go to HillSong, so I decided to tag along. On my first visit to HillSong, I was deeply impressed by the warmth of the congregation and that "family feel" that makes a church a home. I've been attending for three years now. I never did end up visiting that other church. I'm sure it's a fine church too, but I had already found a church body to call my own." — Luke Jones "When I first started at UNC everyone told me that I needed to find a place to fit in—a niche. I am from a very small town so I expected this task to be nearly impossible on such a large campus. A friend invited me to church at HillSong and I immediately became involved. The Sunday night meal and Bible study along with weekday small groups gave me time away from the madness of schoolwork to fellowship with many friends. I was also active in the Baptist Student Union (BSU) where many members attend HillSong. We would often carpool to church, Bible study, or to use the exam study rooms. I quickly learned that HillSong Church was not just a Sunday morning thing!" — Alicia Michael |
