Indiana-Kentucky Synod
Campus Ministries:

A ministry of the whole church in all of its expressions, the mission of campus ministry in the ELCA and the Indiana-Kentucky Synod is to invite people in academic settings more deeply into Jesus Christ and the community that bears his name, so that they can discover and fulfill their vocation as disciples.

Rooted in the Christian community gathered by the Spirit through the proclamation of God's Word and the celebration of the sacraments, campus ministry is tied to the future strength of this church through the leadership gifts it develops in those who will serve the church as rostered leaders and active lay members.

ELCA Campus Ministries provide an authentic experience in the life of the church for young adults on campus, inviting them into full participation with the church, even as their lives are undergoing change, challenge, and confirmation.
