About the Campus Christian Center
The Campus Christian Center (CCC) provides opportunities for students, faculty and staff to participate in worship, prayer and meditation, devotional study of Christian scripture and interfaith conversation.
The CCC is staffed by professional College chaplains who offer pastoral counseling for all members of the College community, and a trained student team who provides peer counseling and spiritual support to fellow students.
The CCC cultivates an atmosphere of radical hospitality and nurtures the spiritual wellness of the Berea College community by
The CCC is a place where people coming from various interpretations of Christianity, other religious traditions or no formal faith affiliation at all can work together in support of and guided by Berea’s Great Commitments.
Student Chaplains are student leaders who help create a welcoming, caring, and spiritually supportive campus community. Through presence, listening, leadership, and service, Student Chaplains support their peers’ personal growth—spiritually, socially, and emotionally.
As peer leaders, Student Chaplains offer pastoral support, help plan and support programs, and model compassion, integrity, and inclusion. They are trained to listen well, build relationships, and help create safe and brave spaces where all students feel seen and supported.
Students interested in serving as a Student Chaplain are encouraged to apply during the application window.
The Campus Christian Center (CCC) represents the most visible and tangible expression of the College’s contemporary understanding of its Christian identity. It also shows the most prominent way the College fulfills the third feature of its mission. That is, “To stimulate understanding of the Christian faith and its many expressions and to emphasize the Christian ethic and the motive of service to others.”
