For Students
What we want for you to know, more than anything else, is that you belong. The world constantly reminds us of what we are not. And life has a tendency to make us feel alone. But you are a holy creation — made, loved, and claimed by God.
Which means you belong. Just as you are.
And the experience of belonging can give you freedom. Freedom to really be who you are. Freedom to really connect with others. Freedom to really dig into community, and make a difference in the world.
Join us at LCM as we explore what it means to belong to God, to one another, and to the world. You don’t have to be Lutheran — or any other faith — to join us. If you are a UW-Madison, Edgewood College, Madison College, or any other post-secondary student, we are here for you.
