Campus Ministry

La Verne is a church-related university with a strong Christian heritage. The relationship of the University with the Church of the Brethren continues to be an important one and is expressed in part by the presence of Brethren on La Verne's Board of Trustees, among its faculty and administration, and within the student body, and by a full-time campus minister.

At the central campus the Campus Minister coordinates a varied program of activities including Protestant, Catholic, and ecumenical activities, pastoral counseling, personal consultation, contemplative prayer, fellowship and worship opportunities, seminars, service projects, and regular contact with off-campus resources. The Campus Minister's office is in the chapel, ext. 4320.

Although the relationship of the University of La Verne to the Church of the Brethren reflects Christian roots and commitment, the University recognizes and encourages a plurality of religious perspectives on campus. Opportunities to study broad religious issues and to have dialogue with other faiths are encouraged. A major concern of the University is to challenge the students to continue to think through their religious positions and traditions.
