Campus Ministries at the C of I

Over 20% of the campus regularly participates in Campus Ministries programs including weekly large group events, mentoring and Bible studies, local and international service trips, internships and leadership development, and community activities.

Nearly equal numbers of students are involved from a variety of Christian denominations, both Protestant and Catholic, and many students are involved who are just exploring faith and spirituality.  Our motto is:

  • Transforming Lives
  • Transforming Friendships
