Through Redeemer’s campus ministry, you’ll find places for quiet reflection, shared devotion, off-campus outreach and community worship. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to share and apply your faith both on and off campus.
All Christian universities have to deal with the “bubble syndrome”: creating a cozy community that becomes inward, focused on itself. Redeemer students recognize that living faith seeks to be a light to the world, and the world is right in our backyard.
