Religious Life
Lindenwood has a historical relationship with the Presbyterian Church and is firmly rooted in Judeo-Christian values. The university provides an ecumenical environment that respects all religious traditions. The Lindenwood University Newman Center is located at 304 N. Kingshighway. Two Sacred Spaces, which can be used for daily prayer and meditation, are located in Butler Loft, and the Sibley Chapel often hosts non-denominational religious services.
The job of a chaplain is to respond to the needs of the college community, to those of various faith traditions, to those with no faith tradition who are asking the “big questions,” and to those who ask those questions and find that God or gods do not fit the answer. The University Chaplain, Rev. Dr. Nichole Torbitzky, is available to meet with anyone for counsel, spiritual direction, or pastoral care. The chaplain's office is located in the Wellness Center.
