Fort Hill Church has a historic commitment to minister to the Clemson University community. Outreach to the University is a partnership between the Presbytery and Fort Hill Church.  Our Associate Pastor for University Ministry is a full-time camnpus minister.  The church also supports the Fort Hill Presbyterian Center, a year-round student center.  The Presbyterian Center serves students as a meeting place, a kitchen, a study hall, a dancing space, or just a place to sit and talk. It is a place where friendships are formed and where they are sustained and nurtured.

The Presbyterian Student Association (PSA) is an important part of our outreach to University students. PSA meets regularly on Sunday nights for dinner, study, fellowship, singing, and fun.  We also have weekly Bible study and emphasize ongoing service projects throughout the year.  PSA also partakes in various trips to Camp Buc and other locations throughout tile school year. Students regularly participate in group activities and events.

The single most important part of our ministry to the University is worship. In worship, we witness to our Christian faith and our reformed heritage.  We reach out with the good news of the gospel to University students, faculty, and staff by providing a warm, open atmosphere and challenging preaching and teaching in our worship experience.  University Ministry gives students an opportunity to develop Christian leadership skills and confidence.

The Affiliate Member Program allows and encourages students at Clemson and other local colleges to become affiliate members of our congregation while retaining their membership in their home churches. They are thereby included in all the church activities while here.

The Connector Program has various families in the church adopting individual students to be a part of their family during the school year.
