College Ministries welcomes everyone, regardless of their religious commitments. We walk with students in their journey of faith and learning through accompaniment, both personally and through meaningful program offerings. We work on behalf of the common good by getting involved in justice issues through advocacy both on and off campus. 

You are invited to connect with Pastor Melissa Bills for faith conversations, spiritual care, or just to get acquainted.

College Ministries reflects the ELCA posture of "rooted and open," meaning that our grounding in our Lutheran heritage allows us to value open inquiry about faith, life, and the world. The expansive welcome of the ELCA extends to our office - whoever you are and whatever you believe, you are welcome here!
