Student-led Bible study groups that meet weekly for reflection and prayer, welcoming those in every step of their faith journey.

Women’s Group

Women’s Group is a casual, student-led bible study group where we take time to de-stress and talk about life and God. This year we are going to explore the incredible stories of various women in the Bible and reflect on how their lives apply to us today!

Whether you’re new to Bible studies or have been part of one before, this group is all about creating a welcoming space to grow in our faith together, and form a supportive community!

Meeting time/location: Every other Wednesday at 7:30 p.m., CFL 205

If you have any questions or if you’re interested in getting on the email list about Women’s Group, please fill out this Google form.

Men’s Group

Men’s Group is a student-led Bible study where we take time to slow down, reflect, and talk about life and faith. Whether you’re new to the Christian faith or a lifelong follower, this group is for you! Together we pray, read scripture, and discuss how we can live as better men in step with Christ. Through God’s Word, we seek to grow through our struggles and find purpose in our daily lives on campus. Email Carter Thompson if you’re interested in being added to the email list. We hope to see you on Wednesday!

Meeting time/location: Every Wednesday night from 7:45-8:45 p.m., Multifaith Meditation Room (CFL)

 

Attending the Men's Group Bible studies impacts my life as a student because it helps keep me grounded/rooted in my faith. Being a part of a community of young men helped me grow as a Christian and my relationship with God.

Called Outward: Exploring Skills for Faith-Based Leadership

Through this yearlong program, an annual cohort of four to six Luther students engages in experiential learning around leadership in faith communities.

During the fall semester, students and mentors engage in shared learning and discernment about topics and skills for faith-based leadership. During the spring semester, students serve as interns in local congregations. The program fulfills the college’s experiential learning requirement.

The Called Outward program aims to equip students to reimagine faith-based leadership both within and beyond congregational models of ministry. Possible exploratory topics and experiences include: stewardship and sustainability, hospitality, bridge-building, advocacy, and community organizing. The topical nature of the program intentionally creates space for diverse student participation from a wide range of vocational interests.
