Welcome
from the
Director of
Campus Ministry
and
Community Service
Hello and Welcome to the Office of Campus Ministry and Community
Service. We support students, faculty and staff of all beliefs by
assisting them with their spiritual and personal growth and development with
co-curricular opportunities representing aspects of
Maryville’s desire to educate the
whole person. Currently, four campus spiritual student organizations
as
well as the community outreach efforts of local ministries work with this
office to support the spiritual needs of our students. In addition,
the burgeoning Maryville Jewish Community, comprised of students, faculty
and staff, is beginning to make its presence known on campus.
Through the collaboration of these groups and
the Office of Campus Ministry and Community Service, numerous activities such as
retreats, reflections, conferences, scripture studies, service projects and
guest speakers and forums on a variety of topics have supported Maryville
University's goal to create and maintain a vibrant campus life.
In addition, we work with students (Community Service Club, etc.),
faculty and staff to create awareness of local, national and global social
issues, promote social responsibility and supports and creates opportunities for
community service outreach to the greater St. Louis community and beyond.
We reinforce the learning from these experiences through reflection and
discussion.
Stop by to visit us at Huttig Chapel anytime.
Our office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. M-F. The building is always
open. Students come here for classes, meetings, to study or to find a
quiet place to reflect, meditate or pray. I can be reached at
(314)529-9521 or
