Campus Ministries

Welcome to Campus Ministries at Eckerd College!

We exist to help students grow in their faith, to provide a safe place for students to ask questions about themselves and God in the world, and to reach out to and provide service for the EC community.

Our regular activities include:

  • Worship, Dinner and Gardening at the chapel every Sunday at 5pm
  • Catholic Mass at 5pm Saturdays
  • Dorm Conversations and Dinners with Professors (contact chaplains@eckerd.edu for scheduled events)
  • Hillel Jewish Student Center
  • Orthodox Christian Fellowship
  • InterVarsity Christian Fellowship

We hope you'll take some time to explore the life of the spirit while you're here. God can be found in the beautiful setting of this campus, interactions with students, staff, and faculty, and in the many opportunities for worship and Bible study. You can also stop by just to chat - our offices are in the Chapel - you're always welcome!

Mission and Work

Eckerd College is related by covenant to the Presbyterian Church, USA and is a member of the Association of Presbyterian Colleges and Universities.

The mission and work of the Center are enriched and informed by the Reformed Tradition, while remaining ecumenical and inclusive in focus as the Center seeks to meet the spiritual needs of our diverse academic community.

Spiritual Life

"Spiritual life is developing the ability to see not just to look, to hear not just to listen. It is life with an examined and often challenged faith at its core. Contributing to the possibility of spiritual living is the overarching goal of The Center for Spiritual Life."
