Our Mission
Religious & Spiritual Life promotes and supports spiritual development, theological reflections, religious tolerance and social awareness among students, faculty, and staff within our Johns Hopkins community. At its heart, Religious and Spiritual Life is a prophetic and pastoral presence which seeks to enhance the spiritual and ethical educational experience of the whole person mind, body, and soul.
Chaplains have a unique role in a campus community. We seek to be both spiritual supporters and active participants in the life of the university. It is not uncommon that one might encounter a chaplain at a religious service. However, it is also just as likely that one might run into us at a lecture, an athletic event or just hanging out on campus. In the midst of the temporal, we aspire to bear witness to the sacred. We are open-minded, open-hearted and thoroughly committed to your religious and spiritual well-being. In times of joy and of sorrow we are dedicated to being a caring, gentle, accessible, and confidential resources to all students, faculty, and staff. We consider ourselves quite blessed to be part of a community of scholars, seekers, and believers walking together on a remarkable journey of spiritual awakening and human flourishing.
