“Day by day, as they spent much time together in the temple, they broke bread at home and ate their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having the goodwill of all the people. And day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved.” – Acts 4:42-47

• Your Lutheran Campus Ministry at West Virginia University holds Mass every Sunday and Tuesday evening during the academic year; in addition to daily prayer and multiple opportunities for study, shared meals, and fellowship throughout the week!

• Your two chaplains, Pastor Courtney + Pastor Ben, share one full-time position and travel throughout the region (WV-WMD Synod and beyond) to share what God is up to with our young adults, preach and lead worship at congregations, and meet with students and alum!

• Your LCM@WVU is a faith home away from home, a family away from family, that provides community and spiritual care for young adults during a life-changing transition as they grow into the adults God is calling them to be!

WHAT WE’RE ABOUT:
Proclaiming the unconditional love + transformational grace of God, revealed and accomplished in Jesus Christ, through a Lutheran Christian lens.

WHO WE SERVE:

• The students (undergraduate and graduate), faculty, staff, and wider WVU community; Christians of all kinds, people of other faiths, no faith, questioning faith.
• The congregations and leaders of the West Virginia – Western Maryland Synod (and beyond) as a support for young adult ministry and care of their parishioners in college.
• High school students through our annual HomeBase retreat
