SPIRITUAL LIFE
Growing out of its history of service and its connection to the United Methodist Church, the
College offers a number of opportunities for students, faculty, and staff members to celebrate life
and explore God‘s intention for human living through intellectual, social, and spiritual growth.
The College employs two (2) ministers to assist students, faculty, and staff to explore God‘s
intention for living in the LaGrange community.
VICE PRESIDENT FOR SPIRITUAL LIFE AND CHURCH RELATIONS
The Vice President for Spiritual Life and Church Relations is an ordained United Methodist
minister who serves as the chaplain to the College. Working to connect the College to the
Church and community through service, leadership, faith, and learning opportunities, the Vice
President is responsible for the overall spiritual health of the College. Much of this aim is
achieved through listening and discussing questions with faculty, staff, and community members
on matters of faith, life, family, God, ethical issues, spirituality, personal crisis, and coping
mechanisms for stress. The office of the Vice President for Spiritual Life and Church Relations is
located in the Quillian Building on the Murphy Academic Quadrangle.
DIRECTOR OF STUDENT MINISTRIES
Working with the Vice President, the Director of Student Ministries helps students to examine
their faith to determine how it relates to their educational experiences, to assess what is
important, and to forge a system of values. As a United Methodist minister and spiritual advisor
to students, the Director serves students of all faiths, encouraging them to remain focused during
times of personal crisis. This position is responsible for providing and supervising all aspects of
student spiritual life on campus, which include community worship and prayer, advising, and
coordinating the activities of student spiritual life groups. The office of the Director of Student
Ministries is located on the ground floor of Smith Hall.
OFFICE OF STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND SERVICE
The Office of Student Activities and Service works closely with the students, faculty, and staff of
LaGrange College to bridge the curricular and co-curricular experiences of students at LaGrange
College. Located on the first floor of Smith Hall, the Director of Student Activities and Service
strives to provide a diverse array of social, multicultural, political, service, and leadership
activities for the campus community.
The Director of Student Activities and Service is responsible for advising the Student
Government Association (SGA) and the President‘s Council as well as for overseeing the
activities and operations of all LaGrange College student organizations. With over 35 active
student organizations at LaGrange College, there is a club or organization for every student. If
students do not feel as though there is something available of interest to them, then there is
always the option of creating and beginning a new organization on campus. Student
Organizations are divided into six (6) categories: Athletic, Greek, Honorary, Interest/
Independent, Spiritual Life, and Service. Please see the Office of Student Activities and Service
for a complete listing of student organizations.
