Student faith societies & groups

Through partnering with Loughborough Students Union, the Chaplaincy help to support the activities of student faith societies and groups, not only by providing dedicated meeting space, but also leadership and organisational support. 

The Chaplaincy facility is a lively place during term time with student faith societies and groups meeting weekly during the day and evenings bringing music, worship, prayer and socialising to the campus. 

Together with students of faith, the Chaplaincy aims to foster spaces for interfaith dialogue by hosting events throughout the year to bring together people (students and staff) of different faiths and none. 

We hold a yearly 'Welcome Event' for new faith society committees to talk about the benefits of using the Chaplaincy space as well as providing an opportunity for leaders from different faith societies and groups to meet and learn about each other. Additionally, the Chaplaincy is passionate about supporting these leaders in their personal growth as the chair a society or group. In collaboration with the St Philips Centre, we host a Interfaith Leadership course helping students to explore leadership attributes, how to deal with challenges or conflict and how they can care for their wellbeing in these positions of responsibility. 

How do I get involved with a Student faith society or group? 

There are several faith societies and groups who meet at the University, most are supported by LSU and others are independent and supported solely by the Chaplaincy. 

Every year, incoming students have the opportunity to sign up as a member to different societies at the Freshers Bazaar and a new leadership committee is elected annually. 

The Chaplaincy team can help link new or current students to faith societies and groups.
