Campus Religious Groups
As you settle in to campus and wonder what you can bring with you and what you may find here, it can be helpful to connect with others who share a familiar religious identity. It may also be exciting to listen and learn from practices that are unfamiliar. These student religious groups offer a wide variety of activities from religious services to embodied spirituality. If you are part of a tradition that is not represented in this list and you’d like to connect with other students from your tradition, let us know and we’ll do what we can to help!
Pluralism on Campus:
Although founded as a Freewill Baptist seminary, 乐播传媒 College today is nonsectarian, and a lively interchange of religious and non-religious perspectives is a vital aspect of campus life. 鈥�We are committed to the flourishing of all religious traditions on our campus with the overarching goal of creating a climate of genuine religious pluralism in which the diversity and differences among students, faculty, and staff are celebrated and fruitfully engaged. At 乐播传媒 College students are prepared to be global citizens who can respect and navigate religious differences, and we vigorously cultivate a climate in which many religious communities are nurtured and honored equally.
Activities and Behavior:
To foster an environment of equality and engagement, student organizations and spiritual advisors are expected to follow this policy in their interactions with other students and religious groups.
乐播传媒 Christian Fellowship
乐播传媒 Christian Fellowship is a large and diverse family of students. We strive to grow in love for God and God鈥檚 people of every ethnicity and culture, and to come to a deeper understanding of the Scriptures and of God鈥檚 purposes in the world. There are many small groups that meet weekly for Bible study, discussion, and prayer. There are also larger weekly meetings for everyone to gather together for worship, sharing and planning. The Fellowship hosts many events throughout the year. Many of them are service opportunities on campus or in the Lewiston community and others are just fun times for the campus to gather and share His Love. Our activities are always open to the entire 乐播传媒 community 鈥� students, faculty and staff. BCF is associated with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship.
