Religious Life & Community Service

Our emphasis on community service and spiritual growth springs from our historic affiliation with the Presbyterian Church. While our students come from many faith traditions, they share a passion for making this world a better place for all. More than 80% of Rhodes students actively participate in our numerous service programs and religious organizations.
The Rhodes Chaplain’s Office serves as a gateway to many religious and service opportunities including:
- The Kinney Program, which places students with about 100 area non-profit organizations
- Habitat for Humanity campus chapter
- PeaceJam program for high-school students from a four-state area
- Tex-Mex Border Ministry trip during spring break
- A diverse range of student religious organizations
The Office of Student Leadership Programs mentors informed and reflective community leaders through programs like:
- The Bonner Fellowship
- The Rhodes Summer Service Fellowship
- Ongoing leadership workshops for students involved in service organizations
