Yyc Campus Ministry Description
We are the Official Campus Ministry in Calgary for the United Church of Canada.
Based out of Calgary's three largest post-secondary institutions, YYC Campus Ministry is a safe space for any and all young adults. We are a pluralistic community, focused on spirituality and multi-faith programming that advocates the inclusion of the LGBTQ + community in all aspects of life and spirituality.
Our belief is that any and all should be able to benefit from an open, inclusive, and judgment-free community.
We hold a space for the spiritual-but-not-religious and for people on the margins of Christianity. Non-dogmatic, contemplative, experimental, and social-justice oriented, we honour all aspects of the human condition - the mind, body, and spirit.
We are grounded in a liberal understanding of the Christian tradition and seek to affirm people of any, or of no particular, faith tradition. Our ministry has been useful to people of all orientations, backgrounds, and upbringings.
At the University of Calgary we are located in the Faith and Spirituality Center on the third floor of MacEwan Student Centre (MSC 373). At Mount Royal University our office is located in the Multi-Faith Chaplains’ Centre (F122). At SAIT we are located in The Interfaith Centre (MB227). These are open, non-judgmental spaces that any and all students are welcome into. If you are looking for a quiet space to get away from the hustle and bustle of university life, come visit us. We are also happy to talk if you need a friendly ear or are struggling with your own place in the spiritual realm.
During the academic year, we offer a number of spiritually-orientated events, including drumming, worship, Simple Suppers, Lunch & Learns, a Christian retreat and a contemplative labyrinth installation.
