Diverse opportunities for Christian fellowship, growth and discipleship are available on campus through a number of ministries. Here’s a closer look.

Washington College Campus Christian Fellowship

Washington College Campus Christian Fellowship

The purpose of Washington College Campus Christian Fellowship is to foster an atmosphere where spiritual values can be shared and discussed, where students of all faiths can gather for the study of and worship to God through Christ, where students can share concerns prayerfully, and where students are encouraged to fellowship in song and activity for the purpose of personal growth and maturity. We have been meeting every Wednesday night at 9PM (currently in the CAC) and a good way to be introduced to the fellowship is to request to be put on the “Students for Christ” list serve. Through the list serve, students receive a daily scripture thought and occasional announcements. Contact person: Professor Jim Siemen (x7283) or jsiemen2@washcoll.edu
