Diocese of Lansing | Campus Ministry

Welcome to Campus Ministry

Campus Ministry stands in the relationship between the Church and higher education and performs this service using six aspects of campus ministry. These ministerial functions reflect the general mission of the Church on campus and the distinctive situation of higher education today. In her ministry, the faith community on campus must be faithful to the essential teachings of the Church and, at the same time, read the signs of the times and accordingly adapt the message of the Gospel to meet the needs of the academic community. (adapted from par. #33 of “Empowered by the Spirit”, USCCB. These functions include:

A. Forming the Faith Community
B. Appropriating the Faith
C. Forming the Christian Conscience
D. Educating for Justice
E. Facilitating Personal Development
F. Developing Leaders for the Future

As a diocesan ministry we seek to address these six functions or goals of campus ministry through a variety of programming, ministries, and resources that are provided at campus ministry sites, parishes, centers, and nearby parish campus ministry outreach.

Oversight of the development of campus ministry in the Diocese of Lansing is provided by the Diocesan Office of Campus Ministry with great reliance on the vision and leadership of the Lansing Catholic Campus Ministry Association. LCCMA is made up of campus ministry leaders from student parishes, centers, Newman Centers and regional and parish campus ministries.
Please review this site regularly for links to ministry sites, resources and programs that can assist you in ministering with students, faculty and families on campuses in the Diocese of Lansing.

Please consider International Samaritan if planning an international service trip for your college students or young adult groups. I have met with Oscar Dussan and was very pleased with their faith perspective and the charity in which they serve. St. Francis Assisi, Ann arbor has worked with them in the past. Peace! Love in Jesus,
