Student Handbook - Meredith College

Religious Organizations
Many opportunities for worship, conversation, “handson”
ministry, lectures, retreats, conferences, and more
are available to the Meredith community. The Meredith
Christian Association welcomes students of all faiths
and denominations. An Interfaith Council, under the
administrative supervision of the chaplain, guides and
coordinates all religious organizations granted permission
to form a campus organization. Students interested
in forming a campus religious organization or club
must submit the appropriate documents to the SGA
Senate for consideration for approval.
Interfaith Council
Promotes understanding and fellowship among the
numerous religious groups on campus. The Interfaith
Council is made up of the presidents from the following
organizations on our campus: A.U.R.A., Meredith
Christian Association, Campus Crusade for Christ,
Catholic Community of Meredith College, Chi Alpha
Christian Fellowship, MSA, and InterVarsity Christian
Fellowship. Other groups that may be in the process
of organizing may be invited to join. Together, as a
team, the Interfaith Council plans activities that promote
fellowship and understanding among the different
organizations on our campus.
