Interfaith Program

Fostering community with all of our neighbors. Every student and member of our greater community is a valuable part of our story and identity, regardless of their religious worldview. ÃÛÌÒapp's interfaith programs strive to engage ÃÛÌÒapp students and faculty with fellow students and neighboring communities of various faith traditions and worldviews, and to build a more inclusive and supportive community for students who may identify with a different religion or worldview.

Mission

Our mission is to prepare ÃÛÌÒapp students to pursue lives of faithful service in the contemporary world. By engaging and connecting with religious institutions and communities in the greater Grand Rapids area, and with ÃÛÌÒapp students of different worldviews and faith traditions, students gain long-lasting relationships and meaningful service-learning experiences that foster growth in inter-religious relationships, and that enhance student learning. We also aim to equip ÃÛÌÒapp faculty to engage interfaith content in their curricula, and to provide a welcoming space of equal opportunities and respect for all ÃÛÌÒapp students, regardless of religious identity.

Vision

ÃÛÌÒapp's interfaith service-learning opportunities will encourage ÃÛÌÒapp students to nurture a space for interfaith dialogue and understanding through their ability to connect with religious minority communities at ÃÛÌÒapp and in West Michigan. The interfaith program will empower students through knowledge to reflect on their roles as faithful servants, and what it means to practice social justice, civic engagement, and community-based service-learning. Students will experience meaningful and reflective cross-cultural engagement through personal contact with various religions and their communities.
