Lutheran Campus Ministry

About this church

Lutheran Campus Ministry in Madison is a student faith community affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Worship takes place every Thursday at 5:30 p.m. during the academic term at Luther Memorial Church, 1021 University Avenue, next door to the campus center. The 45-minute service includes music, Scripture, prayer, communion, and a short reflection. A free dinner follows at the campus center at about 6:15 p.m., giving students a chance to eat together and meet people.

The campus center sits at the corner of North Mills and University and serves as a place to study, enjoy free coffee, and spend time with others. Fall semester hours are Monday through Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., and free waffles are served on Wednesdays from 9 to 11 a.m. Students can also join studies and small groups. The ministry welcomes students, faculty, and staff from UW-Madison, Madison College, and Edgewood, whatever their background or level of faith or doubt, and it is supported by a synod and more than 30 partner congregations. A weekly email newsletter and an Instagram account share updates. Hours and worship schedule follow the academic calendar, so confirm details on the website or at 608-257-7178.
