BECOME A PEER MINISTER

Serving alongside our Graduate Resident Ministers, Peer Ministers facilitate a variety of activities for individuals and groups throughout the year. They visit their hall every week and offer residents:

• 1:1 accompaniment
• Opportunities for community building and faith sharing
• Support in getting connected to the wealth of resources and opportunities for both personal and spiritual growth on campus.

Additionally, Peer Ministers help to lead and plan First Year Escape Retreat in the Fall as well as campus-wide opportunities each semester for students to connect in meaningful ways about the joys and challenges of navigating life as a college student.

Formation

Peer Ministers participate in ongoing formation that offers them resources, support, and skills to be effective, grounded and intentional ministers to their residents and their peers on campus. This includes:

• Early arrival to campus in August for Peer Ministry orientation
• Two hour bi-weekly meetings for formation, planning, community building and shared prayer.
• Regular 1:1s with Peer Ministry director

Community

Both in and outside of official meetings, Peer Ministers will grow in community together rooted in prayer, support, healthy communication, and joy.

Spiritual Growth

Peer Ministers are committed to their own personal spiritual growth and are offered 1:1 support and accompaniment in their spiritual journeys.”
