The United Methodist ministry at Syracuse University is committed to accompanying students, faculty, and staff as they navigate life’s questions, discern their vocations, celebrate moments of joy, and endure seasons of struggle. Rooted in the Wesleyan tradition of grace, compassion, and justice, we seek to cultivate a welcoming and inclusive community where every person is valued and supported. Through spiritual guidance and fellowship, we provide safe spaces for meaningful conversations. Our vision is to journey alongside members of the University community as they grow in faith and purpose.
Programs for Fall 2026
Reading Psalms Together
Tuesdays
6-7:30 PM
Strates Conference Room
Reading Psalms Together is a weekly Bible study that invites students, faculty, and staff to slow down, reflect, and encounter God through the rich prayers and poetry of the Psalms. Whether you are discerning your vocation, seeking comfort during a difficult season, asking life’s deeper questions, or simply longing for a space of spiritual renewal, this gathering offers a welcoming community where you can explore Scripture alongside others. Through thoughtful conversation, shared reflection, and prayer, we discover how the ancient words of the Psalms continue to speak to our hopes, fears, joys, and struggles today. No prior Bible knowledge is required—only a willingness to come as you are and journey together.
