Religious Life
Although Juniata is chartered as an independent college, it was founded by members of the Church of the Brethren and traditionally has recognized the importance of the spiritual dimension as a part of individual growth. Through the campus ministry office, the College encourages students to integrate their faith and vocational direction and offers opportunities to become involved in meaningful religious activities. Campus worship opportunities include weekly Catholic Mass and regular interdenominational services. In addition to regular worship, there are weekly opportunities for students to meet for Bible study, prayer, and fellowship. Juniata also has several active denominational and interdenominational religious clubs. Juniata’s religious programs are guided by the Chaplain, campus ministry staff, and several student leaders. The Juniata student body reflects a diversity of religious faiths and the local community provides regular worship opportunities for Protestant, Eastern Orthodox, and Roman Catholic students. The Stone Church of the Brethren, which is adjacent to campus, and a meditation room on campus, are available for private meditation. A variety of holy days and special religious events are celebrated on campus throughout the year. Additionally, the Campus Ministry Office, Office of Diversity and Inclusion, and United Spiritual Council are available to assist students of various faith backgrounds as they search for communities of faith to join for worship, celebration of holy days, and prayer.
