Upstate New York Lutheran Campus Ministries
Encouraging Young People of Faith
The Upstate New York Synod partially funds different campus ministries in the upstate region, which are further supported by local congregations and other sources.
As a synod, we are invested in the future of both our faith and our communities. By giving students a place to grow into Lutheran adults, we create space for our tradition to meet the changing needs of our future generations.
Cornerstone Protestant Campus Ministry at UAlbany
Cornerstone Protestant Campus Ministry is dedicated to “bringing students together at UAlbany to make a difference in the world.” The mission engages us in moving and ministering on a never-ending two-way street. Much of what we do seeks to “bring students” together in real and meaningful ways.
But “bringing together” is only part of our mission; we also offer countless opportunities for students to “go out” and “make adifference in the world. We offer at least one mission and service projects in the community per month and sometimes that becomes two or more.

Campus Ministry at Ithaca
Lutheran Church in Ithaca serves people connected with 4 campuses: Cornell University, Ithaca College, Tompkins-Cortland Community College, and SUNY-Cortland, as well as people not directly connected with any of those campuses.
This campus ministry is a mission ‘on the edge, in the midst, with a center’. It is ‘on the edge’ because God’s Word is countercultural to many campus gods and ways. It is also ‘on the edge’ because the church in the context of campus meets the current culture, ways, concerns, tools. A campus-related ministry can share that learning experience for the benefit of the whole church.

The TABLE Lutheran-Episcopal Campus Ministry
at Rochester Institute of Technology
The purpose of the Campus Ministry at RIT is to establish, shape, maintain, support, and promote campus ministry to students, faculty, administration, and staff at RIT and other institutions of higher education in the Rochester area.
We use the moniker the TABLE when identifying our community around campus because each week we gather around the Lord’s Table and the dinner table. Please join us at "The TABLE"—you are always welcome.
