Garrett and
Julia Curry with The Shack Campus Ministry
The Currys minister
on the campus of South Carolina University.
The Shack
is a Christian ministry on the USC campus with a twist. it's a
nondenominational mix of house churches that meet in different
locations and come together weekly for group worship and fellowship.
Drive down the stretch of Greene Street that runs through the
USC campus, and you will see an unassuming, Christmas light-decked
house with a simple sign hanging from the porch: "The Shack."
Students clad in the college uniform of jeans, T-shirts and flip-flops
can often be seen going in and out of the house but it's not just
another hangout. The Shack is a different kind of on-campus Christian
ministry. It offers a place of refuge for stressed-out college
students, and also extends a wide variety of spiritual opportunities,
ranging from quiet prayer to group worship on Sundays. Founded
in 1999, The Shack is a nondenominational Christian ministry led
by Garrett Curry, the group's pastor.
The house on Greene Street is open around-the-clock for any students
who want to come by just to relax or to pray and to receive spiritual
guidance. Two male USC students live in the house full time.
