College Ministries
Our ministries to those pursuing higher education can be a vital link for maintaining traditional religious ties or exploring different spiritual paths. This important young adult life-stage ministry provides an avenue for Leadership Development and Evangelism. Today more people are seeking higher education, there are multiple colleges within our geographic region, and not all higher education students are residential on one main campus. Increasingly many students attend school, work, and reside off-campus. At the same time, traditional campus-based colleges and universities continue to thrive. To adapt to this diversity, the diocese partners with parishes, convocations and others to provide an Episcopal presence at more colleges.
See College Ministries for a list of the colleges and universities where the diocese has a Campus Missioner and presence.
