Why give?
"Lutheran campus ministries has allowed me to connect with my peers and other spiritually minded individuals. It has served as a 'church away from home' now that I am not attending my home church. This way I am able to continue to be spiritually minded while at university. Campus ministries has served as a way to improve my mood and mental health through any hard times I may be experiencing and I am very thankful for its services." -Nathan, Class of 2023, Vancouver, WA
BioI was part of my Lutheran Campus Ministry when I was an undergraduate and had a truly great experience, but between COVID and moving around a few times I hadn’t felt like I had much of a church home since then. But now as part of UW Lutherans as a grad student, I feel connected to a faith community again. I love the opportunities to share meals, laughs, and deeper discussions about life and faith with folks who understand what it’s like to be a student or be in a new city. I look forward to our Wednesday dinners every week as a welcome break from schoolwork, and because I can count on Pr. Chelsea to have a fun yet thought-provoking activity weaved in. This community is a blessing, so thank you for supporting it!

I’m part of Lutheran Campus Ministry because I have been part of Lutheran communities my whole life and it was the natural first place to look for friends when I started at UW. I grew up Lutheran, I went to a Lutheran undergrad. I was in Young Adults in Global Mission. I have been part of Churchwide young adult events, like the Abide ministry. I have long-treasured and valued the relationships that I have built with Lutheran young adults and I really wanted to find some of those same kinds of relationships here when I started at UW. So, I joined Lutheran Campus Ministry for their book club over the summer before I started and made some friends there. And then I’ve been going every week-ish to Pastor Chelsea’s events and have made some really wonderful friends there, and I treasure each and every one of them!
