Manchester College is committed to creating and sustaining a learning community which affirms intellectual integrity and the Christian faith in the context of religious tolerance. The following values shape the religious life program:

• Belief in God as Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer
• Freedom to explore knowledge, faith and uncertainty
• Commitment of self in service to others
• Affirmation of the worth and integrity of all persons
• Relationship with the Church of the Brethren

The religious life program seeks to encourage these commitments in many ways in the college community. Religious life on campus is facilitated by the campus pastor, the Religious Life Committee and Campus Ministry Board.

Activities such as Bible studies, retreats, spirituality groups, and weekly chapel services are organized by the campus pastor and the assistant to the pastor throughout each semester.
