Making s\u2019mores over a campfire, going out for milkshakes, reading scripture, or conversing about the complexities of life: Whether lifting someone up in prayer or just being a good listener, student spiritual leaders at EMU offer important gifts that are valuable and enriching to the campus community.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fitting to recognize this donation of time and spiritual leadership in Crossroads <\/em>alongside other donors: these students will most likely become alumni who are involved in similar generous ways in the communities where they will reside and work.<\/p>\n

For now, we thank this group of 24 students for their work here on campus, under the guidance of undergraduate campus pastor Lana Miller.<\/p>\n

Pictured below are pastoral assistants, usually upperclass students who lead and mentor the ministry assistants, and ministry assistants, who are enrolled in a ministry exploration class. Ministry assistants reside in each of the residence halls, where they minister among their peers and organize regular Worship Nights programs. (Their T-shirts quote the campus ministries theme for the year: ‘Who do you say that I am?’ <\/em>Matthew 16:13-20.)<\/p>\n
