Spiritual Life @ Averett

Welcome to Averett University’s Spiritual Life page! The Office of Spiritual Life exists as an extension of one of Averett’s core institutional values, to “embrace Averett’s Judeo-Christian heritage, by honoring the search for truth and spiritual formation”.  Headed by our University Chaplain, the Office of Spiritual Life serves as a resource for spiritual encouragement and challenging growth for all our students, regardless of faith background and perspective.  We offer a variety of clubs and programs throughout the year for worship, study, reflection, service, and fellowship, along with providing the University Chaplain as a resource for faith counseling and support.

Please view our religious organizations below, followed by a list of churches within walking distance of Averett’s campus and our Chaplain’s contact info.

Campus Worship
