They are discovering that life at school can be much more than getting credentialed in a field of work. It is also about claiming their identity as children of God. In this claiming is a commitment to live in a close relationship to Christ, that is, having Christ become the focus of our life. Campus ministry supports this journey of faith through a Word and sacrament ministry here at University Lutheran Chapel. Bible study, teaching of prayer, and retreat opportunities are also available.
Spiritual direction is also an important component in nurturing one's spiritual life.
Discernment retreats are offered to those about to graduate or facing other major decisions and events in their lives. This understanding only comes through placing our total trust in God through whom we can truly live. We who minister to students are in a position similar to Eli, who helped Samuel listen for the voice of God. We too help students embrace the reality that God calls them by name and that, through a relationship with God, they are precious. Lutheran Campus Ministry is a ministry which welcomes all home to God.
