The South-Central Synod of Wisconsin sponsors three campus ministries, at UW-Madison, UW-Platteville, and UW-Whitewater. Campus Ministry Sunday provides an occasion to highlight campus ministry in prayer, spread the news about campus ministry to your members, and encourage financial support for these programs. To participate, simply complete the form below to indicate which day you plan on organizing Campus Ministry Sunday at your congregation/ministry. Afterwards, the Synod Campus Ministry Oversight Team will contact you to provide liturgical resources and ask if you would like a member of the Synod Campus Ministry Oversight Team to join on your Campus Ministry Sunday.
Check-out our new video introduction to the Campus Ministries of south-central Wisconsin:
LECM at UW-Whitewater is a joint ministry between the ELCA South-Central Synod of Wisconsin and the Episcopal Diocese of Wisconsin, supporting projects like the student group Dwelling and the Campus and Community Meal. The Monday night spaghetti meal serves about 90 meals weekly, totaling 3,495 meals in 2023 — free, thanks to financial support from congregations, and volunteer support from the community.
