Campus Ministries

CUC Service Day 2011 Video

Welcome to our Campus Ministries website!  We hope that through these web pages, you will discover how seriously we take spiritual life on our campus; how important it is that our students are provided with every opportunity to grow in their walk with God... to give them reason to believe.

Campus Ministries encourages students to connect with God through Community Worship, Vespers, Sabbath School, Small Groups and Prayer Ministries.  These ministries also provide time for students to connect with their campus family - to share and support. 

We also encourage our students to connect with their local and global communities through our annual Serve Lacombe Day and the Red Deer Food Drive.  Through KIDS Church, Prison Ministries, Hobbema Missions, Sunshine Bands, Soup Kitchen, ADRA trips, and Student Missions.

Through these various ministries, we pray that our students will grow... discovering who they are, their talents and their values.  Most of all we pray they will grow in their walk with God.

Campus Ministries is student-led and coordinated by CUC's Chaplain, Pastor Paul Antunes. 

                   It has three purposes:

                                      Connecting with God

                                      Connecting with others

                                      Connecting others with God
