RELIGIOUS LIFE DIRECTORY
compiled and published by
The Religious Life Council
and the
Division of Student Affairs
West Chester University
Revised September, 2016
INTRODUCTION
West Chester University's Religious Life Council was formed to help meet the spiritual needs of students
through a cooperative working relationship between religious organizations and the University. The mission of
the group is based on the belief that a student's spiritual life is an important aspect of overall intellectual and
personal development.
The council, comprised of representatives from campus religious student organizations, representatives
from community denominations serving WCU students, and University administrators, coordinates a variety of
functions. The goals of the council are as follows:
• To develop a communications network between the University and religious organizations for the
purpose of sharing information about services and programs;
• To develop a comprehensive program to acquaint students with religious organizations on the campus
and in the community, and
• To serve as a resource group for the University on matters of a religious nature.
In an effort to acquaint the University community with the many and varied religious services and programs
offered both on and off campus, the Religious Life Council, under the auspices of the Division of Student
Affairs, has developed this directory. It is the council's hope that the following information will be of value to
those seeking affiliation with a particular religious denomination and/or involvement with a religious student
organization.

Cru: Campus Crusade for Christ:
Our purpose is to help launch and build movements of spiritual multiplication on college campuses so that
everyone will know someone who truly follows Jesus Christ. We believe that a relationship with God through
Jesus Christ provides the hope and purpose in life that people are seeking. College students often find
themselves in an environment that is tearing away at their moral and spiritual stability. They can feel trapped by
the pressures of academic life and the deep need to be accepted by their peers. All of this can add up to a college
career filled with anxiety, superficial relationships and fear of the future. Jesus offers today's students something
different. In the Bible, Jesus says, "I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly." (John
10:10). When students begin a relationship with God, they find purpose and meaning, and they experience life
the way that God intended.

The Baha’i faith teaches that all religions of the world come from the same God, and that there is only one
religion, that being the religion of God. God sends different divine teachers at different times. Each of these
divine teachers, otherwise known as prophets, such as Krishna, Moses, Buddha, Christ, and Muhammad, teach
that He will return. For Hindus, it is the reincarnation of the Lord Krishna; for Buddhists, the arrival of the
Fifth Buddha; for Christians, the return of Christ; and for Muslims, the coming of the twelfth Imam. Bahu ‘u
‘llah, the manifestation for the Baha’i faith, claims to be the Promised One of all religions.
