The Chowan Christian Service Association (CCSA) provides opportunities for students to serve in Jesus’ name through tuition scholarships and missions endowments. Established in 2005 with the late Rev. Ronald McSwain as the first director, countless individuals and churches are partnering in support of the education and the preparation of future ministers. Charles Pond, Charter member and scholarship donor, will give $5,000 to the Ronald W. and Betsy F. McSwain Missions Endowment when 25 gifts are given in support of any CCSA endowment. His gift is in memory of his close friend Ron McSwain and in memory of his wife Juanita Pond who generously supported CCSA.

The student organization that won the Chowan Cash Cab $500 bonus was the CJ Club. Congratulations!
