Interfaith Center & Campus Ministry

The Ronald K. and Kati C. Machtley Interfaith Center provides a gathering place where all members of the Bryant community can explore their spirituality, practice their faith, and learn from one another.

The Campus Ministry team is dedicated to fostering understanding and cooperation for all, wherever they may find themselves on their journeys.

Chaplains are available to participate in programs and discussions sponsored by faculty, resident assistants, campus groups, and clubs. They also hold office hours to meet with members of the Bryant community.

The University offers several interfaith/ecumenical celebrations throughout the year, including Friends and Family Weekend services, the annual Festival of Lights each December, and Baccalaureate Services during Commencement weekend.
