ECM Springfield

Episcopal Campus Ministry strives to be alongside college students, to accompany, mentor, and provide places for leadership development. ECM also offers deeper experiences in the faith journeys of college students through worship, fellowship, and vocational discernment. ECM serves as places of community which may center around shared meals, regular worship, pastoral care, community service and other encounters with Episcopal ministries. ECM is a lively place for mentoring the Christian formation of both seekers and those who grew up in Episcopal churches. At weekly ECM meetings, students are recognized, challenged, supported, inspired and engaged in honest dialogue around their faith in order to foster their potential. We provide a culture where students can imagine and explore new possibilities for ministry. These imagined possibilities are necessary for the continued vitality of the church and for God’s mission in the world. Through campus ministry we equip students with the tools for facing the tough ethical, moral, religious, relational and ecological challenges of a complex world.
