Introduction
to Lutheran Campus Ministry
The Christian community
that gathers on campus is anchored in worship that is centered
in the grace and reconciliation of Jesus Christ. Here the Word
and Sacraments remind young adults on campus of their baptism
and affirm them as persons. Lutheran staff and students take
seriously the opportunity to share this good news more boldly
with others
In academic settings that are
intellectually rigorous, emotionally volatile and spiritually
engaging, this community of believers provides a place for faith
to be challenged by the study of scripture and enlightened by
the Spirit. Students hear the call to faithful discipleship and
learn to serve the needs of others in the larger world.
Through experiences in creative
ministry and volunteer service, students who are active leaders
in the church on campus today provide competent, enthusiastic,
trained leadership for the church for years to come.
A Lutheran
Ministry on Campus
is
rooted in the gathered community
that celebrates in
Christ-centered worship,
is challenged by scripture
enlightened by the Spirit and
informed by our confessional
heritage and
is connected with Christians in the wider world,
committed to sharing faith
more boldly and
serving others as vocation is
lived out
to the glory of God’s name.
