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.

For more information about religious life at Rhodes or to learn about churches and other faith communities in Memphis, contact the Chaplain′s Office at 901-843-3849.
Religious organizations sponsored by the college are student-led, committed to a spirit of cooperative ministry, with respect for differences in faith and practice.  All students and religious groups at Rhodes are urged to participate in the Kinney Program and Interfaith activities. Churches, para-church groups and other religious organizations must register and be approved by the college before coming on campus for the purpose of ministry or program leadership.

FCA is the largest Christian sports organization in America. Here at Rhodes College, our vision is to challenge and equip the athletes to impact the campus for Christ. While this is the place for anyone just seeking to know more about God′s word, our hope is that diverse athletes will desire to strain, strive, and succeed in their sport in order to honor God′s name as well as experience His peace and blessings.  All sports and intramurals are welcome. Even if you just love sports, you can attend (You do not have to be an athlete).
