About The Center for Spirituality
Historically, Wagner College has had a relationship with the conference of Lutheran Church congregations that today is called the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. At the center of campus sits Kairos House, with its small but lovely Knubel Chapel. The chapel is designed to serve as an interfaith center that welcomes prayer and hosts services from various faiths. Throughout the year, major holy days from all faiths are marked with special services. Each semester, worship schedules are announced for the weekly opportunities for students, faculty and staff.
A number of staff of various denominations are available. Also listed through this page are nearby synagogues, churches, mosques and temples and their contact information. Students might want to find a family away from home with these communities. Also below are organizations on campus that work to promote the spiritual health of our student body. As you might be considering attending Wagner College, we would love to meet you, or have you contact us to discuss your needs and how we might meet them.
We have come a very long way from our beginnings, when our charter was the necessary preparation of young men for Lutheran seminaries. The journey has been a wondrous and ever-expanding adventure that has celebrated the multicultural religious nature of our campus. We celebrate this journey and pray that it continues to find ways to strengthen the Wagner experience for all of our students who would exercise their faith in this formative time in their lives.
