Campus Ministries
College is a time of growth and challenge for every student. Huntingdon is a journey not only of the intellect but also of the spirit. Campus Ministries provides a place of support as students face new ideas about the world around them and creates a safe space for them to question matters of faith. Through Huntingdon Campus Ministries, students find pathways to spiritual fulfillment.
Campus Ministries coordinates a variety of religious life activities, including a weekly Chapel service, Bible studies, student religious organizations, and missions. These experiences are available to all in the hope that you will find a place to grow and give during your Huntingdon years.
Campus Ministries exists to create and nurture a culture of faith at Huntingdon College by:
- Providing excellent and meaningful worship opportunities
- Providing dialogue with faith through small group Bible studies, guest speakers, and forum discussions
- Providing fellowship and service opportunities.

Weekly Meetings
Chapel
Every Wednesday morning at 11:00 a.m. in Ligon Chapel, the student body, staff, faculty and administration of Huntingdon College meet in order to worship and be encouraged by Sharing the Story (God’s and ours) and Re-living Moments of Faith. Our goal is to encounter Jesus Christ personally and corporately through engaging speakers, inspiring music and creative use of the arts.
“Emerge”
The “Emerge” Gathering is an exciting time to praise and worship Almighty God, learn from Holy Scripture, encourage one another, grow in faith, strengthen conviction, and build relationships. The “Emerge” Gathering meets on Thursday nights at 8:08 p.m. We enter into God’s Presence with a time of fellowship and music, then move into a variety of small groups (there is something for everyone) or interact with an engaging speaker, where we learn in community how to serve Christ. It is an exciting time!
The goal for the “Emerge” Gathering is that participants will:
- “Emerge” as leaders in their realm of influence;
- “Emerge” as empowered to impact the culture;
- “Emerge” as willing to meet the needs of others; and
- “Emerge” as life-long seekers of Jesus Christ.
Come join us and EMERGE to make a difference!
