Religious & Spiritual Life (RSL) at Wheaton College provides space and support for students who are among the religiously observant, spiritually curious, or both.
We partner with students interested in asking complex and critical questions about life and its meaning and to find supportive and transformative ways of gathering with others for contemplation, celebration, or dwelling in the unknown.
Whether you are curious about religion and spirituality, looking for a local faith community, or simply finding out who else on campus is asking life’s Big Questions, RSL is the place for you.
RSL strives to make our campus a more joyful place of belonging for everyone at Wheaton College, by supporting the practice of religion and spirituality and by promoting critical and constructive inquiry into how our values are lived.
Spiritual and Religious Student Organizations
RSL staff members work with student-run organizations like Hillel (for Jewish life), InterVarsity Christian Fellowship (IVCF), the Muslim Student Association (MSA), the Newman Catholic Students Club, and the Interfaith Theme House.
RSL also works with student groups and local partners to coordinate holiday observances and celebrations and to create opportunities for students to attend local religious services.
