Campus Ministry
create a rich, spiritual environment on campus
Campus Ministry at Ancilla College
The mission of campus ministry is to “create a rich spiritual environment” on campus. We do this through a variety of ways. We offer things like spiritual direction and spiritual counseling. We plan talks and events that open spiritual conversations. As well, we provide ways to develop the community through fun activities, small groups, and other means.
Core Values
- Openness to the Spirit
- Community
- Simplicity
- Dignity and Respect for All
We are located in Room 110.
Snacks and drinks are available!
