Chaplain’s Office
Mars Hill is a liberal arts college. Its defining Christian commitment reflects the 150+ years of its Baptist tradition. Our mission in Campus Ministry is to provide a safe place for students to share what is going on in their lives, and to help students, faculty, and staff integrate faith and learning. The many service, worship, and fellowship times provide opportunities to apply classroom learning to daily living. Here you will discover students and their mentors joining together to explore ways to put faith in action.
Through the chaplain’s office we sponsor weekly Crossroads services, involve students in the Christian Student Movement, provide pastoral counseling and guidance to the college community, and participate in positive relationships with congregations and agencies who support our mission.
As you browse the rest of the site you will discover more of what we do and how we might be helpful to you. As always, we invite you to stop by and visit with us in Bentley Fellowship Hall!
