Campus Ministry

The University Congregation

The University Congregation is an ecumenical faith community of students, faculty, and staff.  During the academic year, we meet each Sunday morning at 11:00 AM in Lagerquist Concert Hall of the Mary Baker Russell Music Building, except when the University is on an official break.  While our roots are in the Lutheran tradition, we aim for a wide variety of worship and diverse prayer, music, meditation, and word.

Please join us for Commencement Worship on Sunday, May 26th, at 10:30 a.m. in Lagerquist Concert Hall, Mary Baker Russell Music Center.

University Congregation meets for worship during the academic year at 11 a.m. on Sundays in Lagerquist Concert Hall, except when PLU is on an official break.

The University Congregation Council

The University Congregation Council is student led and student directed--one of the few in the entire ELCA!  The University Congregation Council is embedded in the life of the congregation through participation in worship, creating opportunities for service, and nurturing members in the Word of God to grow in faith, hope, and love.
