Cadres, Small Groups, and Mentoring
Building relationships is one of our highest goals in University Ministries. You belong to this place. You discover that when we worship together. You also discover it as you meet with smaller groups of people.
In a Cadre, you get to get to know students, professors, and staff outside of class. You talk about how your major or another topic of interest intersects with the faith. Make connections, ask questions, belong. (see below for a list of the Cadres we offer this year)
In a small group, you can connect with a group of students or staff to help each other grow spiritually. Walk through a season of life together, encourage each other in faith and life decisions, have conversations that matter, have fun. Most small groups are hosted by students for students. Some are hosted by faculty and staff. For more information on small groups check out our small group guide.
Sound interesting? Contact Sharpen's Small Group Team Leader, Denise Filley (email).
If you want to be in a small group with students, check out the SMC ministry or the Sharpen Ministry. If you are interested in a small group with faculty or staff, contact um@spu.edu to see if any are open
In mentoring,
we’ll try to help you connect with either a peer, staff or faculty member here at SPU, or someone else in the greater Christian community, to talk with you about their life and faith, and help to lead and guide you in your own relationship with God. For more information check out our guide to spiritual mentoring.
