Asbury University

Christian Life

At Asbury University, spiritual vitality is the building block that propels you to a flourishing future. We want you to experience growth in your relationship with Jesus, which is why we actively engage students in meaningful spiritual formation through a variety of avenues, including chapel services, discipleship programs, community service and missions.

From Residence Hall Bible studies to discipleship groups, mission initiatives and more, there are numerous opportunities to grow your faith. For those seeking deeper involvement, spiritual leadership roles are also available.

Finding a local church that feels like home is important. We want you to feel involved and accepted in a church family here in Kentucky as you explore different denominations and seek opportunities to serve. 

Through opportunities like Set Apart Retreats, your faith will be enriched as you enjoy space from campus with other students committed to deepening their relationship with God. Set Apart Retreats center around critically examining your faith and developing a biblical perspective on societal needs as you take time to slow down and focus on your spiritual journey. This event features an intimate environment with a 1:7 student-to-faculty/staff ratio, ensuring personalized attention within small groups led by faculty and staff members. All first-year students are encouraged to participate in this retreat, generously funded by the Price Foundation at no cost.

Equipping and empowering you to serve no matter what profession you choose is our goal at Asbury University. This commitment is exemplified through our dedication to encouraging servant leadership as your spiritual formation complements your academic preparation. Together, these initiatives foster a holistic educational experience, blending spiritual growth with academic preparation so that you can make an impact on the people around you.
