Our Vision, mission & Values
Vision
Waterloo Campus Ministry (WCM) is a Christ-centered community on the campuses of Waterloo and Laurier universities that encourages students and faculty to confidently question, discover, and grow in a life of faith.
Mission
WCM is on college and university campuses to listen, pray, worship, and nurture. It provides opportunities for learning, leadership, and service to help build a solid foundation for lives of faith and missional expression in students and faculty.
Values
-
The Kingdom of God – Jesus proclaimed a new way of living in this world, calling us to practice the way of love, grace, forgiveness, reconciliation, and selfless service.
-
Reformed – all things were created good, but because of the sin and brokenness that spoil the earth, all things need to be restored by God’s suffering, holistic love in Jesus.
-
Cultural Engagement – the beauty and majesty of God are incarnate in every cubic centimeter of the creation and therefore we engage the world that God loves
-
Wholeness – we cultivate meaningful relationships that support belonging and spiritual growth among students, staff and faculty
