Office of Faith & Spiritual Life

Faith and learning go hand-in-hand at Augustana University. The Office of Faith & Spiritual Life supports students as they ask questions, explore vocation, as well as discover more about themselves and the world God made.

• As a university of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Augustana is rooted in a particular Christian tradition, while also being radically open to those who are not of that tradition. All are welcome, wherever they are on their spiritual journey.
• A rhythm of daily worship grounds the campus community and gives worshippers practice for how to live and serve as God’s people. Chapel services lift up a variety of theological perspectives and musical styles.
• Campus pastors and an interfaith chaplain are available for prayer, vocational discernment and spiritual care.
• Programming is student-led and includes regular opportunities for Bible studies, service, faith conversation and leadership development.

• Mondays, at 10 a.m. — Service of the Word
• Wednesdays, at 10 a.m. — Holy Communion
• Fridays, at 10 a.m. — Senior Sermons
  • Worship is in-person or live streamed on the Office of Faith & Spiritual Life Facebook page
  • All services are 30 minutes long
• Sundays, at 5 p.m. — Catholic Mass at Christ the King Catholic Church
