Calling and Spiritual Life
The division of Calling and Spiritual Life helps the University live out its mission by encouraging the campus community to reflect on calling and purpose; providing opportunities to grow spiritually through worship, caring conversations, and student ministries, and supporting the ministry of the broader church.
Valparaiso University is proud to celebrate the Lutheran Centennial! Celebrations will begin during Homecoming 2024 and culminate with Homecoming 2025. Throughout the year, we will celebrate God’s faithfulness to Valpo through a number of events. We intend to tell this story through music, worship, historical remembrances, and celebrations.
