The Chaplaincy is a bunch of students who team up with the chaplain to make student life a fun and memorable experience while on Campus.
If you want to hang or participate in activities, come visit us! Rooted in the Lutheran tradition, Augustana chaplaincy is ecumenical in scope and an integral partner in Augustana’s mission of developing personal wholeness through a liberal education and equipping students for leadership and service. Embracing the partnership, Augustana Chaplaincy values being an academically credible resource for
the entire campus, accompanying all students as they struggle with questions of meaning and purpose, developing leaders for church and society and contributing to the work of building justice and peace. Statement of Welcome:
