The Episcopal Campus Ministry (ECM) is a Christian community grounded in worship, prayer, service, and hospitality for the students, faculty and staff of our local colleges and universities. We follow in the traditions of the Episcopal Church and are a ministry of the Diocese of Oregon and the Episcopal churches in the Eugene/Springfield area (St. Mary's Episcopal Church, St. Thomas, St. Matthew's, Resurrection, and St. John the Divine.

Our ministry is engaging students by:

• Assisting with transition from high school to college and into adulthood
• Assisting in discernment of God’s call for our lives
• Supporting students through spiritual matters raised by academic life and areas of study
• Nurturing spirituality and faith, helping to explore questions 
• Encouraging participation in service to other students (especially through the Student Food Pantry), the community and the world
