student resources - 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 campus minister,
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.

Association for Understanding and
Religious Awareness
A.U.R.A. is a forum for any students, staff, and faculty
who wish to promote tolerance, awareness, and diversity
on campus in regards to all religions. A.U.R.A. will also
provide for the concerns and needs of non-Christian
students to be addressed, and for students to learn
about the religions of their peers. Membership in
A.U.R.A. is open to any student who has the same
goals as the organization or is curious and open to
other belief systems. All religions are welcome.

to the spiritual, social and theological needs of
the students, faculty and administration. We stress
the values of social justice and participate in programs

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship
IVCF is an interdenominational campus ministry open
to all students. This organization is committed to helping
students come to know Jesus personally and serve
him as Lord. This group offers a fellowship where its
members unite to share their faith in Jesus and help
one another grow as disciples and witnesses to God’s
love and forgiveness. Large group connects students
from NCSU and Meredith each Thursday night (meetings
held at NCSU) and provides a time of learning
how Jesus is relevant to students' lives. There are student-led
small groups that meet once a week for Bible
study, worship, and community. This group is an ideal
environment to develop close friendships and grow personally,
and it provides many opportunities for summer
mission trips, leadership training, retreats, and campus
community involvement.
