Lutheran Campus Ministry-Twin Cities is a Christian community by students, for students. We are the largest Christian queer affirming ministry on the campus of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. Our community centers the unconditional love of God and is marked by a commitment to integrity, curiosity, and creating belonging for one another and our neighbors.
At a time when your lives as students are in flux, our ministry helps you as students at the University of Minnesota grow in your faith, ask big and beautiful questions about God, your vocation, your emerging identities, and experience the healing power of belonging and the transformational nature of Christ’s welcome.
There’s a place for you here, just as you are.
Three Expressions of Who We Are
“Be Real. Be Curious. Be Community.”
These are the ways we express and live out our faith on campus.
There’s a place for you here, just as you are.
Where you can show up and be honest both about who you are and who God is calling you to become. We invite you to share honestly about what’s actually going on in your life, in a community of people who are looking to do the same.
Bring your questions and curiosity.
Where you are encouraged to have big and beautiful questions about God, your vocation, and your emerging identities. Learn alongside us as we discover what it means to trust the living God in the midst of the uncertainty of our world, and our daily lives. Throughout Scripture, we see faithful followers of God who also have lots of very good questions. At LCM, your doubts are welcomed and your questions are encouraged.
Find the healing power of belonging in Christ & community.
Where you can experience the healing power of belonging and the transformational nature of Christ’s welcome. The U is a big place. LCM-TC is a way to make it small. You will get to know good and interesting people as we share meals, pray together and play together, serve the larger community together, go on retreats, and simply hang out.
Your presence isn’t just wanted, it’s needed.
God delights in diversity and stretches our imaginations about what true community looks like.
We are a queer affirming community.
We welcome all who seek God’s love and grace, regardless of race or culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or relationship status.
We welcome all without regard to addictions, physical or mental health, imprisonment, socio-economic circumstances, or anything that too often divides us.
Our unity is in Christ.
We are a ministry of the Lutheran Church ELCA. We are grateful for our local partnerships with the Minneapolis and St. Paul Area Synods and congregations. We especially give thanks for our unique relationships with three congregations on or near to the campus of the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities; Grace University Lutheran Church (Stadium Village), University Lutheran Church of Hope (Dinkytown), and St. Anthony Park Lutheran Church (St. Paul).
