Spiritual Life

Southern's spirit shines brightest during spontaneous Bible studies on the Promenade or impromptu prayer groups that crop up around campus. It is also seen when professors pray or have a short worship before class, apply Christian perspectives to secular subject matter, and take time to encourage students with words of wisdom. It’s a natural part of Southern's package deal—caring for the whole person: mind, body, and soul.

Office of Ministries and Missions

The Office of Ministry and Missions is the spiritual heartbeat of the campus. Whether you need a word of encouragement or have an idea for a ministry of your own, the Office of Ministry and Missions is the place to get actively involved in ministry.
