Ministry is a wide open field of opportunity. It has no social, monetary or geographical boundaries. Ministry lives in the individuals who have within themselves a heart to give and a vision to help others. Spring Arbor University is a small university in a small community. It is full of students with big ideas and the energy to see them realized. This page is filled with ministries that began as dreams and have become realized by students with the vision and energy to make them happen. If you have a vision for ministry please share that vision with the Director of Student Ministries.

Statement of Purpose:
To encourage spiritual growth, fellowship, and service for the purpose of building the kingdom of God in our hearts, on our campus, and in our world.

Statement of Mission:
Spring Arbor University student ministries endeavor to fulfill these four objectives.....

To involve every SAU student in some type of ministry or community service project during their university experience.

To show the community that SAU is interested in giving back rather than merely receiving.

To equip students with the Christian leadership skills needed to impact their churches, communities and world.

To be an extension of the body of Christ to the world.
