One of Dana College's goals is "To help students find meaning and purpose in their lives by examining the Christian faith, articulating their understanding of it and integrating this understanding into all of life."  Campus Ministry at Dana College seeks to serve this goal in its daily activities.

The college is fortunate to receive funding from the Thomas F. Staley Foundation to offer a special lecture series each year. These lectures are coordinated by the campus ministry office.

Learning is not limited to book or Bible studies, lectures, and the classroom. Campus Ministry at Dana College includes informal conversations. Whether at a basketball game, in the dining room, sitting in a dorm room participating in a Bible study or in the gathering center in front of Trinity Chapel, or watching a religious movie in the Campus Center, campus ministry conversations are happening. Students are thinking about the Christian faith and its implications for life. And they are hearing and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.

Following Jesus' example, members of the Dana community escape the distractions of the campus environment. In September each year, all students are invited to gather for a weekend retreat. The retreat provides an atmosphere of relaxed fellowship, prayer, play, and learning.
