We are a church that is energized by lively engagement in our faith and life. The mission of campus ministry in the ELCA is to invite people in academic settings to engage more deeply with the teachings of Jesus Christ and the community that bears his name, so that they can discover and fulfill their vocation as disciples.
ELCA campus ministry is a Lutheran ministry for students, faculty, staff and others on campus, not just a ministry for Lutherans. It provides an ELCA presence at South Dakota State University. Drawing on the Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions, campus ministry bears witness to God’s amazing grace within the context of higher education. Sensitive to the pastoral needs of those on campus and engaged in the intellectual discourse of the university, campus ministry strives to communicate the gospel in fresh ways. Through worship, study, fellowship and service, members of the academic community taste the fullness of God’s grace. As expansive as Christ’s love, campus ministry reaches out to all who teach and learn, inviting them to experience the challenge of following Jesus. |

Lutheran Campus Pastor - Herb Wounded Head III
Received his B.A. in Biology (Marine) from Augustana College.
Received his M.Div from Luther Seminary in St. Paul.
What excited me about campus ministry is the opportunity to help other's explore what faith means to them. We live in a time of great exploration and wilderness wandering where asking questions matters. I want people to know that this is a place to ask those questions. I want people to know that they have a place where they belong, and to know that they do not wander in this wilderness alone.
I think campus ministry is important, because it is on the edge of a vibrant institution in SDSU, but also on the edge of a critical moment in the faith life of students. At the University Lutheran Center, I want people to know that no one will be turned away. This is a place where God's unconditional love exists for all people. This is a place where people will know that God is for them.
