Wittenberg Door Campus Ministry

Pastoral Care and Evangelism to the collegiate communities in Columbia.

Supported by Trinity Lutheran Church and other area Lutheran congregations, Wittenberg Door Campus Ministry, served by Pastor Dave Spotts, provides face to face pastoral ministry and care to students, faculty, staff, administrators, and their families.

Wittenberg Door Campus Ministry brings the good news of Christ’s perfect life, his death in the place of sinful people, and his role as the one who promises eternal life and hope to our community. Since we look to Christ for hope in this life and in eternity, we try to live as Jesus’ messengers of that good news. Central to this work is having a pastor often present on campus, ready to talk, and, more important, ready to listen.

Having a pastor means you have someone who can help you find that hope. You have someone who will pray for your specific troubles, meaningfully and confidentially. You have someone who will walk with you through your trials, not judging you, but bringing God’s words of guidance, guarding your confidentiality, and treating you with respect. When you realize you need God’s forgiveness, the pastor reminds you that Jesus came to earth, suffered, and died for all your failings and that he lives to bring you eternal forgiveness.

Wittenberg Door Campus Ministry is a mission of the American Association of Lutheran Churches. We confess that we believe the words of Scripture to be the inspired Word of God and the only infallible rule of faith and practice. We affirm without reservation the doctrines explained in the Book of Concord. We believe that Christ in His Word brings hope and help to hurting people, using his means of grace in Word and Sacrament.
