Our Mission

People navigating labrynth
Our chief goal at the Religious Center is to assist students, faculty and staff who are seeking to develop or enrich their spiritual lives.  Ministers help in this capacity through  classes and activities of their various denominations, pastoral counseling, listening sessions, individual and group prayer and the connection of individuals with additional resources on and off the campus of SIU Edwardsville.

The Religious Center staff seeks to promote faith sharing among all those on campus who are attempting to integrate a relationship with a Higher Power and their daily life.  Through this blending of several long-standing religious traditions, the staff hopes an inter- faith community will develop to encourage, inspire and challenge all participants, as well as anyone at SIUE who is asking questions about the ultimate meaning and purpose of life.

The Religious Center seeks to build an informal social base for all students with a spiritual orientation so that they might experience the support of peers as they move toward their life goals and the struggles in their daily life.

EVERYONE IS WELCOME HERE!
