Lindsey Wilson College - Campus Ministries

Campus Ministries

Lindsey Wilson College's campus ministries are a vital part of campus life. Every student, regardless of his major, is welcomed to be involved in campus ministries.

Some scheduled activities include:

  • The Way: a contemporary worship service that offers a unique way to interact with the local community;
  • The Truth: a brief chapel service;
  • The Life: a contemporary, student-led worship service, and
  • Discipleship: The Discipleship wing of campus ministries is a relatively new ministry, and currently targets incoming freshmen, helping them with the transition to college life. One ministry divides freshmen into co-ed groups of 10-15, called "Freshmen Family Groups", and meet once a week for fellowship.
  • The Missions Study is conducted much like a Bible study in which various areas of the worldwide mission field are studied each week. In the past, this group has conducted a clothes drive benefiting the Mountain Methodist Mission, as well as collecting money for Samaritan's Purse.
  • The Small Group Ministry provides fellowship and Bible study for both co-ed and gender-specific groups.
  • Awakening is a ministry team that travels to local churches, conducting the service, and is made up of creative arts, drama and worship teams. This team seeks to "wake up" the Body of Christ. Awakening members go on a mission trips during Lindsey Wilson's annual Fall Break and have traveled to places such as China, New Mexico, Iowa, Boston, Kansas City, and Romania.

Rev. Troy Elmore is the current chaplain and leader of the Christian Ministry at LWC. Assistant chaplains include Carol Weddle, Emily Talbot, Laura Wesson, Jamie Salyers and Daniel Moody. Dr. Terry Swan is the dean of the Chapel.

Famous quotes containing the word ministries:

    Called as partners in Christ’s service,
    Called to ministries of grace,
    We respond with deep commitment
    Fresh new lines of faith to trace.
    May we learn the art of sharing,
    Side by side and friend with friend,
    Equal partners in our caring
    To fulfill God’s chosen end.
    Jane Parker Huber (b. 1926)
