Campus Outreach Charlotte is the college ministry at Christ Covenant Church, established as a ministry of the church in 1995 when the ministry of First Presbyterian Church in Augusta sent a small team to Charlotte to start CO. Today they minister on six campuses – three in the Charlotte area (Wingate, UNC Charlotte & Davidson) and three in the Greensboro area (High Point, UNC Greensboro & Elon). CO Charlotte also oversees, leads and shepherds the ministry to all collegiates in our congregation through the community called the 18|22s.
The vision for CO Charlotte is to glorify God by Building Laborers on the Campus for the Lost World. They focus on evangelism, disciple-making and missions mobilization on college campuses. Campus Outreach Charlotte and Campus Outreach chapters around the world are committed to excellence in every aspect of ministry, especially the call to disciple young adults who are learning to make God’s plan for their lives their priority.
