If you're wondering exactly what that means...regardless of race, socioeconomic status, abilities, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity, hometown, major, or if you say "pop" or "soda"...
"There is no longer Jew nor Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:28
​
We believe in the extraordinary love
and generosity of
Jesus Christ.
​
As the Lutheran Campus Center resides on the land of the Oceti Sakowin, we pause for a moment to acknowledge and honor the ancestral land of the Dakota Nations and the sacred land of all indigenous peoples at our worship services on Sunday evenings.
The LCC is also a Reconciling in Christ campus ministry. We celebrate and affirm our LGBTQIA+ community
and siblings.

Coffee Break!
"Coffee Hour"
​
Need a coffee break in the middle of your week? We get it. Meet in the LCC Kitchen on Wednesdays at 12pm. Bring $2 (or Venmo) and order any drink from Ridgelands. Then, head back to the kitchen for a chance to hang out, take a break, or even study with other students!
Coffee
We share space with a new local coffee shop, Ridgelands Coffee House. In our humble opinion, they have the some of the best coffee and in-house baked goods in Winona. Also- really yummy breakfast & lunch menu!

WORDS FROM STUDENTS
"I've shared I want my nursing career to recognize the whole person. The LCC has been there to care for so many students, including me, seeing them mind, body, and soul. When newcomers read 'all are welcome', they'll soon realize the truth and love those words carry here."
Kendra
"I've witnessed an endless stream of kindness, compassion, and grace coming from this place, and it really restores my belief that there is still good in this world."
Alyssa
"Thanks to the LCC, this is who I am today. My worth is defined by myself and God alone. And you taught me that God will never find me anything other than accepted, valuable, and loved."
