Office of Faith & Spiritual Life

Faith & Spiritual Life at AU

Faith and learning go hand-in-hand at Augustana University. The Office of Faith & Spiritual Life supports students as they ask questions, explore vocation, as well as discover more about themselves and the world God made.

  • As a university of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Augustana is rooted in a particular Christian tradition, while also being radically open to those who are not of that tradition. All are welcome, wherever they are on their spiritual journey.
  • A rhythm of daily worship grounds the campus community and gives worshippers practice for how to live and serve as God’s people. Chapel services lift up a variety of theological perspectives and musical styles.
  • Campus pastors and an interfaith chaplain are available for prayer, vocational discernment and spiritual care.
  • Programming is student-led and includes regular opportunities for Bible studies, service, faith conversation and leadership development.

In collaboration with the Office of Faith & Spiritual Life, the Augustana School of Music (SoM) invites the public to join the university community for its 2024 Christmas Vespers concert, “Prepare the Way.”

Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday, more than six weeks before Easter, is a “meaningful season to so many Christians.” So meaningful that Augustana’s campus pastor decided to build programming around the season — programming now known as Lenten Faith Partners.

While its mission, identity and core values remain the same, Campus Ministry at Augustana University will now be known as the Office of Faith & Spiritual Life — a reflection of the broad scope of work that is already taking place.
