BECOME A PEER MINISTER
Peer Ministers are a tight-knit community of undergraduate students who provide a ministerial presence in residence halls and throughout campus while participating in ongoing personal and communal spiritual formation that is animated by the spirituality of St. Augustine and rooted in the Gospel.
If you are interested in becoming a Peer Minister or learning more about the program please email Meghan Dietzler, Associate Director of Peer Ministry.
Peer Ministers facilitate a variety of activities for individuals, small and large groups throughout the year.
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.
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.”
