Welcome to the website! We are a community-based ministry designed to help meet the spiritual and emotional needs of older teens and young adults in the greater Ithaca, New York area. There are four parts to the ministry:

Friends of TC3 Following Christ: is an ongoing source of information for the Christian community about Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3). It facilitates Christian support of the college and ministry to its students.

Students Following Christ (TC3): is a year-round ministry led by TC3 students with events on and off campus. The group follows the Intervarsity model of campus ministry and uses their materials for teaching and training. It is seeking affiliation with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and student club status at TC3. For more information see: www.intervarsity.org/aboutus and www.ivcfnynj.org.

The "following Christ ministry" provides a student leader, adviser, and practical helper. Ken Jung of Bethel Grove Bible Church (www.bg.org) is the pastor adviser.
