Religious & Spiritual Life Student Organizations at Otterbein

Church of the Master Campus Ministry

Church of the Master Campus Ministry wants to remind students, staff, and faculty that they are seen, welcome, and appreciated. Campus Ministry offers free coffee every Monday morning (when class is in session) at Church of the Master– the church across the street with the red doors. All students and staff are welcome to stop in for a free coffee (Fair Trade from Equal Exchange), tea, hot chocolate, cider, donuts, and gluten free snacks to start the week off with a smile. Come as you are. The food is free and the conversation is fun. Campus Ministry also offers a free pasta meal each semester for Otterbein (October 4, 2023 and February 7, 2024, from 5-7 p.m.). We have worship on Sundays at 9am and 11am. We also have a Young Adult Ministry, job offerings, volunteer opportunities, and student-led organizations like: Connecting Threads (Thursdays 7-8pm), and the Interfaith Group (Mondays at 4pm- free dinner included).

If you have any questions or would like to get involved with the ministries at Church of the Master, please contact Rev. Lucy Kelly, Otterbein’s Director of Faith and Spiritual Life, at campus@chmaster.org. You can also follow Church of the Master on Instagram (@chmaster_umc) or Facebook (Church of the Master United Methodist).
