Spirituality

Huh? I thought Wheaton College was a secular college?

It is! The SSSR office is here to help students interested in asking complex questions about life and its meaning. That's another way of learning about who you are and who you want to become at Wheaton and beyond. This may involve deepening your connections with their own religious tradition or exploring spirituality in a broader sense.

How does it work?

SSSR staff members work with student-run clubs like Interfaith Alliance, Hillel (for Jewish life), Christian Fellowship (Intervarsity), and Zen Meditation Group to provide opportunities for interfaith dialogue, tradition-specific study and practice, and seasonal interfaith worship services.

SSSR also supports programs for "seekers" -- that growing number of students who describe themselves as "spiritual, but not religious."

What can it do for me?
