University of Mary Campus Ministry

The Campus Ministry Team is the University of Mary's peer ministry program. Each spring, students are selected for membership on the team for the following year based on their involvement in campus ministry, leadership potential, and the ability to model an active faith life. Membership on the team is open to students of all faith traditions.

This year the team has selected as their theme:

"Let all be received as Christ." (Rule of St. Benedict, Chapter 53)

Fav Bible Verse: "He who plans to do evil will be called a mischief-maker. The devising of folly is sin, and the scoffer is an abomination to men. If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small. Rescue those who are being taken away to death; Hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.
