Welcome to Grambling State University! I am the Rev. Consuella “Connie” Breaux, the Campus Minister under dual appointment from the United Methodist Church to Grambling State University, and Trinity UMC, in Ruston. Campus Ministry is an outreach ministry of the Louisiana and National Board of Higher Education in Campus Ministry Arena.
You have made a wise choice to attend GSU and I am confident you will enjoy yourself in your preparation for a productive role in society.
Grambling State Campus Ministry is sponsored by The Wesley Foundation United Methodist Church, an ecumenical and connectional ministry welcoming all denominations and faith traditions to fellowship with them. The ministry is located in the A. C. Lewis Memorial Library Room 236.
GSU Campus Ministry has an active group of students and offer a variety of activities. We have a dynamic weekly schedule of events plus special activities like Theological Discovery, Several Bible Studies, Spiritual formation, College Retreats, tours/mission outreach for community services, leadership trips and conferences plus student forums. Campus Ministry at Grambling could be the place where you meet your life partner. n The SWAT Team is an exciting team to be on; we serve, worship and play. Stories are shared and witness of the students’ faith journey while in college, and how being apart of campus ministry equipped them for the challenges of school and the larger world. The SWAT Team consists of students from all denominations and faith traditions. Sharing and witnessing “how Grace” entered into their life when it seemed like nothing or no one was in their corner.
Wesley Foundation is not the only ministry organization on campus. A variety of religious clubs such as Chi Alpha, Love Alive Club, Newman Club, and Muslim Collegiate fellowship, Fellowship of Christian Athletics plus three Ministry of Music Groups, all under the umbrella of Grambling Campus Ministry.
All clubs must be registered in order to render services to the collegiate community.
