Student Groups

Many students at Rhodes are active in worship and prayer groups on campus, student-led religious organizations, interfaith dialogue, peace and justice ministries, and a wide range of faith-based service activities. The chaplain′s office supports Christian, Jewish and Muslim student groups, as well other religious and cultural groups on campus. While living and growing in one′s own particular faith, students are called to live with respect for a diverse community of many beliefs and practices. Common commitments to servant leadership, social justice and compassion for others often link students of different religious backgrounds in service, learning and ecumenical ministries.

The college′s Presbyterian history teaches us to value the life of faith and spiritual integrity, as well as the life of the mind; to respect religious freedom and diversity; and to serve God by serving with our neighbors, seeking peace and justice in all of God′s creation.
