Opportunity for Mission: The 8th Volma Overton/U.V. Christian Foundation Golf Tournament!

Austin Agape is very fortunate to be a campus ministry housed right in the middle of a congregation! Many campus ministry groups have separate buildings or are located on the grounds of the university, but we consider ourselves blessed to live and serve within the congregation of University Presbyterian Church. Students at Austin Agape are able to worship and share fellowship in a multi-generational context, and they get to learn from the vocations and passions of other Christians around them.

For this reason, all of us at Austin Agape love to hear what other members of the congregation are doing. It inspires us to involve ourselves too!


The Volma Overton/U.V. Christian Foundation provides scholarships for graduating seniors from McCallum High School, Reagan High School, LBJ High School, and Eastside Memorial High School. Students who demonstrate financial need, leadership, character, and community service are eligible for their awards. On Saturday, the foundation held its 8th Annual Golf Tournament to raise money for the scholarship fund at Jimmy Clay Golf Course. Nick Overton, Roscoe Overton, and Jordan Overton played on the team for University Presbyterian Church. Way to go!


And University Presbyterian was also represented at the registration table! Renée joined forces with Barbara Evans, and together, they registered the church teams and business teams. It was fun to greet the participants with a smile and hand out raffle tickets!






We are so fortunate to live and serve with the members of our church!
