Spiritual and Religious Life

While ÄûÃÊÊÓƵ is a non-sectarian institution, we realize that spirituality is part of a student’s holistic development. We provide programs, resources and spaces for all students to learn, explore and grow.

Facilities

W&L’s Hillel House includes the E Café, a Kosher dairy dining facility with indoor and outdoor seating; a sanctuary/multipurpose room; comfortable study spaces; a lounge area with cable television; and state-of-the-art meeting spaces. Located in the Hillel House, the Interfaith Resource Center is open to anyone of any religion. It provides a place for students to meet with their faith leaders and a place for students to meet with other students of different religions. The university also offers a dedicated and consecrated Sacred Space in Elrod Commons for prayer, contemplation and meditation. It is available for individuals during regular Elrod Commons hours and may be reserved in advance for small group gatherings.

Religious Organizations

Lexington is home to several churches of many denominations that are attended by students, faculty, staff and community members alike. In addition, there are many student-led clubs and organizations focused on bringing students together to practice faith on campus.
