University of Sioux Falls

Culture for Service

The traditional motto of the University is Culture for Service. We seek to foster academic excellence and the development of mature Christian persons for service to God and humankind in the world.

The role of Campus Ministries is to come alongside students, faculty and staff to assist them in the work of integrating faith and learning. It’s our mission to provide spiritual direction, plan chapel services, coordinate small groups and connect students with service opportunities to help USF be faithful to its calling.

All are welcome.

At USF I learned how to pray for others, worship with my whole self, study the Word, and share my testimony, all because of the opportunities provided by campus ministries. Praise God for the safe and encouraging space the ministry holds on our campus.
