Lutheran Campus Ministry-Calgary is a not-for-profit organization that relies heavily on the goodwill of others to keep operating. We believe it is important to provide students in a secular setting a space where they can explore spirituality, where they can meet like-minded young adults, and where they can feel safe expressing who they are. We are a space of sanctuary for young adults. We work directly in post secondary institutions and bring the ideologies of liberal Christianity to students through out the Calgary area. But our programs, and everything we do, is built and operated so that everyone - regardless of orientation, background, or belief system - feels welcome to come and be a part of our community. We are a community that is open to all, and we advocate for the inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community in all aspects of life and spirituality. We are working to unite people across boundaries, provide students with open and safe spaces, and to show that spirituality works in a university setting.

Each year we interact with over 1,500 young adults. We bring community, connection, acceptance and experiences to these people. We bring community-building drum circles to students every week, free meals and deep conversation during our simple suppers, the experience of contemplative reflection during our worship services, and so much more to students every single day and week. But to keep doing this we need great people to help us along.

The staff and resources needed to run all of our programming (and there is a lot of it) are enormous and, of course, all of it takes money.

Due to the nature of the people we work with, we can’t rely on them to keep us running and funded. Students and young adults are such a necessary part of the churches future that we must continue to engage with and provide programming for them. As such, we need your help!

Please help us along today to keep bringing spirituality and safe spaces to young adults throughout the Calgary area. Your donation will mean students and young adults will keep receiving healthy meals, community-building activities, and a fully-inclusive space. It also allows us to keep providing a space for liberal Christianity on university campuses.
