Spiritual Life

As a liberal arts college that values inquiry as much as answers, Bridgewater College welcomes students from all perspectives and faith traditions to grow, consider and share their values in an open and inclusive community.

Bridgewater affirms a tradition of ethical values, service to the community, equality and freedom of belief. At Bridgewater, ethical and spiritual awareness is not imposed but encouraged as an integral dimension of the whole person.

Bridgewater is one of six colleges historically affiliated with the Church of the Brethren. Please read about our church affiliation to learn more.

Recognizing that everyone is at a different place on the spiritual journey, Bridgewater provides a rich variety of resources and activities that enable students to connect in ways that fit who and where they are on that journey.  From weekly BC Chapels and Spiritual Life Groups to Student Peer Ministry, Deputation Teams and CROP Hunger Walks, Bridgewater invites you to discover all the ways you can explore and express your spirituality during your college life.
