Church Relations

The Church Relations and Campus Ministries division of Carson-Newman University serves to support local churches and university students in developing educated citizens and worldwide servant-leaders on mission for Christ. 

Carson-Newman was established because of Tennessee churches, and we are grateful for our partnership with churches to advance the Kingdom of God. We hope you enjoy this video, 79re.colleensflowercellar.com/church23, which depicts our church-focused history and the wonderful things God is doing to change lives at Carson-Newman. 


Campus Ministries

Campus Ministries is a biblically-based and Gospel-focused ministry to all university students at Carson-Newman. We offer weekly chapel services to provide a formal worship experience and to preach God’s Word to our students, faculty and staff. We train and employ student chaplains who are available to provide support to both students living in every residence hall on campus and those students who commute to campus. We disciple students by leading them to study God’s Word and establish a Biblical worldview. Throughout the year, we offer ministry and missions training for all students who can participate.

praying for c-n

At Carson-Newman University, we believe that intentional prayer brings focus and direction. That’s why we are seeking daily prayer warriors who will take a few minutes each day to pray specifically for our faculty, staff and students.

Our vision is to have prayer warriors from across the nation lift up our university in prayer each day. For those willing to join our prayer list, daily emails provide the names of a few of our students and employees and a specific, timely prayer request for the institution.
