About

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, St. Mary's Episcopal Church (located on 13th and Pearl)
St. Thomas (Coburg Road), St. Matthew's (River Road), Resurrection (39th and Hilyard), and St. John the Divine (Springfield, Game Farm Road)

Our ministry is engaging students by:

Assisting them with transitions from high school to college and into adulthood
Assisting them in their discernment of God’s call for their lives
Helping them wrestle with the spiritual issues raised by academic life and their areas of study
Nurturing their growth in faith, helping them to explore questions of faith
Encouraging their participation in service to other students (especially through the Student Food Pantry), the community and the world
Encouraging continued participation in their home and local churches and preparing them for life and ministry in the church in years to come

Engaging the ECM community by:

Offering an inviting and healthy Christian community grounded in the traditions of the Episcopal Church
Offering opportunities for fellowship, worship, leadership and service to others
Offering a weekly communal meal and Eucharist at the ECM House

Engaging the wider academic community by:
