College Ministries

The Diocese of West Tennessee offers ministries on the campuses of Rhodes College, LeMoyne-Owen College, Christian Brothers University, and the University of Memphis. The mission of college ministry is to serve, support, and equip students, staff, and faculty to live and practice their faith in diverse campus communities in worship and proclamation of the word of God by word and example.

Engaging Students in Episcopal Campus Ministries
In 2007, a team of lay and clergy from different congregations and ministries in the Diocese of West Tennessee observed 10 campus ministry sites across the country to determine which actions and steps create the highest percentage of Student Engagement.
