in ministry with and for the students of Winona State
University. We strive to be welcoming, inclusive, and ecumenical in
our ministry. to respond to the

spiritual life of students Within each of us is a spiritual life uniting
us with our Source. Our yearning for God is an invitation to nurture the
growth of our spiritual life. God calls us to spiritual growth by following
the way of LOVE, given to us by Christ as a model for living in the world
today. Our spiritual growth is also nurtured by a
diversity of faith traditions, by stories of our common human journey, and by the
experiences of our lives. through open and caring
relationships. We believe God placed us on earth to learn how to LOVE one another. We will grow in LOVE through the development and deepening of our relationships with God, with one another, and with our inner selves. Our relationships will blossom more fully when we share mutual respect and care for all
people and for all of God’s creation. Where can you find United Campus Ministry?

Friends in
Christ Small faith sharing groups committed
to living a life in Christ with a threefold covenantal commitment to “act
justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8).” Students will gather together to reflect
upon and create their commitments in groups of 5 or 6 students. Each small group meets on a weekly basis
to support and hold each other accountable to the faith commitments of their
hearts.
Students will choose times for group
meetings that work best with their schedules. Campus minister, Jean Lauer, helps you to find a place for your
group to meet and resources for prayer or study as you need them. Call or email Jean Lauer for further info. Koinonia
Music Ministry
Koinonia is a worship-leading ministry. We sing and tell stories, read and reflect
on Scripture, and create skits to prepare a worship service that we bring to
various area churches, and sometimes, to students’ home churches. In fall, we choose music, get to know each
other better, plan our skits, go on a
weekend retreat, and become a circle of friends who share our blessings and
our challenges together every week. Regular Koinonia group meetings every Sunday
evening from 5:30–6:45 PM at TAGGART LOUNGE in the basement of the UCM house
at 362 Johnson Street. Please call
for directions if you aren’t sure where we are!
KOINONIA RETREAT – November 8-10 at Village Creek Bible Camp. Koinonia
goes on an annual retreat. The theme
for this year’s retreat is “Thirsting for God.” If you would like to join KOINONIA and
get in on the fun, please call or email Jean or come to our Sunday night
meetings at Taggart Lounge. Student Worship with
