Campus Ministry
Are you seeking a community where you can explore and deepen your faith? Our Campus Ministry supports students of all religious backgrounds in their spiritual journeys. Whether you need a place for worship, resources for spiritual practices, or a confidential space to talk, our Campus Minister is here to assist.
Throughout the academic year, Campus Ministry offers enriching programs designed to foster an understanding of various cultural and religious traditions, all while promoting respect, peace, and justice. We also support student-led organizations like FOCAS (Fellowship of Christian Artists), which hosts speakers, engages in community outreach, and fosters a sense of togetherness.
Our involvement extends to the Hillel Chapter of Manatee County, where students actively participate in semi-regular Seders. We also support regular Catholic Mass on campus. Additionally, we provide leadership and professional development opportunities through a paid internship program, allowing students to work closely with the Campus Minister throughout the academic year.
No matter your faith perspective, we welcome and support you and appreciate the richness you bring to the diverse community at Ringling College. For more information or assistance, please contact our Campus Minister, Rev. Dwight Henry, at dhenry@ringling.edu.
