Campus Ministry thrives in the ever-widening circles of God’s abundant grace. Our lean, nimble, inclusive and often messy ministry draws on richness of faith, strength of community and the vigour of academic engagement to welcome and engage with students from across Saskatchewan and around the world.
The mission of Lutheran Campus Ministry is to proclaim and witness, through word and sacrament, to the saving grace of God in the academic community, among students, faculty, and staff.
Lutheran Campus Ministry works in partnership with Chaplains and other faith leaders at the University of Saskatchewan. In support of student spiritual, emotional and physical wellness, we provide weekly worship and a community meal at the Lutheran Campus Centre (on the corner of College and Wiggins just off campus) Known for its bottomless cookie jar, the Campus Centre has drop-in hours, small group meeting space and provides a supported dorm for 5 residents. Our chaplain George Hind has regular hours for conversation, prayer and counsel at the Campus Centre and on campus at Marquis 104 (beside the Tim’s across from the bookstore) Chaplain George serves on the USask Faith Leader’s Council and is a host for the “Good Breakfast” program on campus.
Lutheran Campus Ministry is a ministry of the Saskatchewan synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada. Since 1959, the Lutheran Campus Centre has been a “home away from home” for students from all over the province, the country, and the world. We gather for the spirit of community that is created through worshiping together, eating together, and sharing together in our life on campus. From our earliest days we have been rooted in the Lutheran tradition but open to all.
We seek to provide a Christian presence on campus in cooperation with other denominations who share similar purposes and goals.
We also work with people of other faith traditions, learning together how to live in a pluralistic world, demonstrating not only how to tolerate the differences in God’s creation, but how to celebrate them.
