Campus Life

Spiritual Life

The mission of Spirituality Programming at Culver-Stockton College is to sustain the spirit of the College's heritage as a College of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) by providing, in a rural setting with connections throughout the world, a caring and supportive environment in which students examine their faith, discover a deep sense of their being and express it by sharing their best-loved gifts in a place of the world's deep need.

The College provides a variety of formal and informal avenues for students to explore during their spiritual journey:

• All-campus assemblies (e.g., Thanksgiving, Advent and Lenten Assemblies)
• Bible Studies
• Care Mail (an e-mail means of keeping the campus community informed of needs for prayer, expressions of concern, or congratulations, as the case may be). To submit a care mail request, please call the Chaplain at (573) 288-6420.
• Christian Fellowship Group
• Community service projects
• Counseling with the College Chaplain
• Disciples on Campus
• Places of solitude (e.g., All Faiths Chapel in the Gladys Crown Center, Prayer Room in Johnson 114)
• Religion and pre-ministry courses (through the Division of Humanities)
• Service-Learning Travel (Birmingham, AL., Mexico, Washington, D.C., Poland and Israel)
• The experience of a diverse and caring campus community
• The study of a variety of religions
• Thursday chapel services
• Worship in local congregations

Spiritual Programming is guided by the College Chaplain, in conjunction with the College's Ministry Council. Members of that Council include three faculty representatives, one staff member, and ten students.
