• Weaver Chapel Association (WCA)
  If you're looking for a "home away from home," Weaver Chapel Association (WCA) is organized something like a congregation, and seeks to provide a Christian community, a "church home," for Wittenberg students. WCA members grow in Christ through worship, Bible study, retreats, and small discussion groups; serve through assisting with campus worship services and participating in community service projects; and enjoy fellowship through movie discussion nights, chapel lunches, and other events.  Some of the service projects have included CROP walk and Fair Trade Fair.  Meetings are at 8:30 P.M. on Monday nights. Come and join us for this low-key time of faith discussions where everyone is welcome wherever you are on your faith journey! Pastor Rachel Tune advises WCA.

  Athletes for Christ (AFC)
  Looking for a way to connect your faith and your love of athletics? Athletes for Christ (AFC), a ministry of Athletes in Action and Campus Crusade for Christ, focuses on presenting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord to athletes, coaches, and all whom they influence. The organization bases its teaching on the Bible, and is spiritually nurturing, athletically-focused, and most of all, Christ-centered.
