The Story Behind East Carolina Study Center

Jul 3, 2026  •  Pastor Gina Robinson, Meghen Haggard

Are you wondering what it looks like when God takes a broken story and turns it into a mission? If you've felt like your past disqualifies you from what's next, this episode is for you. 


On this episode of Renew, Gina and Meghen sit down with Meredith, founder and board member of EC Study Center in Greenville, NC. Meredith shares her testimony, meeting Jesus at 19, marrying her husband Rich, adopting three children from Ethiopia, and losing everything in the flood after Hurricane Floyd. She also shares how a simple conversation turned into EC Study Center, a home away from home for college students at ECU and Pitt Community College. 


This is part one of a two-part conversation. Part two covers burnout, the volunteers who sustain this ministry, and how you can get involved.
