Sweet Briar College supports the spiritual practices of students from all faith traditions. The office sponsors events and activities that nurture spiritual life on campus.
The Spiritual Life Team at Sweet Briar includes faculty and staff who are actively providing spiritual guidance and care. This past year, several different events were held including Due North (a Christian-based bible study), Sunday Night Open Door Chapel Service, Pizza and Prayer, and Lynchburg Cru. The College also supports a student-led group: Sweet Spirits. Any student seeking religious or spiritual support not covered by the resources listed here, should reach out to the Office of Student Life for local resources.
