“FOREVER CHRISTIAN, ALWAYS WELCOMING”

The purpose of the Chaplain’s Office is to embody Berry’s distinctively interdenominational Christian heritage by providing pastoral care and opportunities for spiritual formation and religious connection. The office develops services and programs to nurture intellectual, moral and spiritual growth as a means to strengthening Berry’s Christian identity, while maintaining a genuinely open and supportive atmosphere for all.

Directions for programs and opportunities that we aim to develop:

 

Upward

Experiences that lead students to worship.

Inward

Services that nurture spiritual growth.

outward

Opportunities to minister unto others.

 

THE HISTORIC ROOTS OF OUR CHRISTIAN IDENTITY

Berry was founded upon a commitment to Christian belief and practice. Over 100 years later, this continued commitment is expressed in the phrase “Forever Christian in spirit.” Each week, approximately 40 religious life activities occur on campus, including opportunities for Christian worship, Bible study, fellowship and more. Berry is shaped by an interdenominational, ecumenical approach to Christian faith and values. We welcome people from diverse religious traditions, and we are committed to helping students from different backgrounds find ways to express their faith.
