Welcome!
Welcome to the Uniformed Services University! Our goal is to support and enhance the quality of life of military personnel and their families through spiritual development. Ways we can help are listed above in "Ministries".
The free exercise of religion is a Constitutional right of United States citizens. The Office of the Chaplain facilitates the free exercise of religion for military personnel and their families. Chaplain ministry is needs-based, performed cooperatively, and executed within a pluralistic environment.
Since the University mission revolves around our students, so does the design of our religious program. Faith-specific Student Associations are formed as needs arise. Faculty and staff are encouraged to participate in the Student Association of their choice and support/mentor the students in their spiritual formation in a similar manner as they do academically. Within regulations under the University President and the Brigade Commander, and administered by the Office of the Chaplain, the Student Associations are self-governed to meet the needs and interests of their constituents. Currently we have the following groups at the university:
- Protestant Student Association
- Catholic Student Association
- Latter-Day Saint Student Association
- Jewish Student Association
- Islamic Student Association
Others can form as needed. Contact the Office of the Chaplain for more information on the group of your choice.
In summary, we want you to be your best so you can perform your best while at this university. If something is distracting you from doing this, your chaplain is a safe and caring place to start with plenty of potential resources to help, regardless of faith group. We are here for you.
How Can A Chaplain Help Me!
Whether you are a student, civilian or military staff, or family member. You may be lonely, lost, worried, confused, stressed out, emotionally down, seeking some one with whom to celebrate a blessing, in need of spiritual direction, or just need someone to talk to. The chaplain is always here to listen and help. If you want him to walk with you in your journey, call, email, or visit our office.
