Campus Ministry


The goals of the Campus Ministry are to enhance spirituality on campus, to encourage and give guidance to those who desire participation with a particular place of worship with the community, to be available to those who have spiritual needs or wants, and to foster the personal and spiritual development of individuals.

With these goals in mind, the campus minister plans and oversees programming activities including discussion groups, study sessions, retreats and conferences, and other events that support the spiritual needs of the campus community. Programs may include presentations on faith, culture and morality; theological discussions and debates; belief expressed in acts of charity; the pursuit of religious truth within a spirit of community; and peace and justice.

The campus minister also builds connections between the College and local faith communities in an effort to create and promote opportunities for students to explore and express their spiritual nature. Finally, the campus minister maintains posted office hours for students dealing with questions of faith, grief, relationships, and any range of issues or matters calling for support.
