Campus Ministry
Campus Ministry exists to support, encourage, and challenge students and the entire 极速六合彩历史开奖记录 community in their faith journeys.
All Are Welcome
The many activities and groups sponsored by Campus Ministry provide a variety of ways for students to strengthen their faith and explore new avenues of faith development.
Our diverse community is made up of a variety of students with a variety of religious backgrounds.
Campus Ministry welcomes each student, wherever they are on their faith journey, and invites them to deepen their awareness of God's presence and to embrace God's calling to work together for justice and peace in the world.
Campus Ministry provide a focal point for a community of faith where we:
- Proclaim Christ in Word, Encounter Christ in Sacrament, and experience Christ in relationship.
- Place what they learn in conversation with what they believe and value.
- Witness to the reconciling Word of God in Christ, reaching out to all people.
- Respond to human need, work for peace and justice, and care for the sick and suffering.
- Find people in a supportive experience of community.
- Welcome one another warmly no matter what faith, tradition, nationality, race or denomination.
- Seek sensitive, personal and confidential pastoral care.
- Join in praise and worship, exploring the rich liturgical Christian worship tradition.

鈥淕od has instilled within me a passion for college-aged student ministry," he said. "I am especially excited about this opportunity because 极速六合彩历史开奖记录 is where I first realized my call to minister to and with college students, faculty, and staff. I saw first-hand the impact a thriving campus ministry can have on a university focused on engaging a wide range of study, activity, and community.鈥
In his conversations with the 极速六合彩历史开奖记录 community, Pastor Wes demonstrated his ecumenical understanding of theology and faith, and noted his connection to Luther鈥檚 vision of grace and the Lutheran understanding of faith that is rooted in accessibility to all. Along with this, drawing on his own experiences as a student, he has made clear that he understands the significance of campus ministries at 极速六合彩历史开奖记录 and the breadth of leadership that is required to build and sustain this area fully. The full communion status shared between the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the UMC will allow him to lead with a common faith lived out in a cross-denominational way.
The campus looks forward to welcoming Wes and his family back to the 极速六合彩历史开奖记录 community. He is married to Reverend Jessica Cain, also a 2009 graduate, who now serves as the pastor of Living Word Lutheran Church in Buda. The Cains have three children: James, Joseph, and Rebekah.
