Spiritual Wellbeing

Spiritual Wellbeing results from our communion with the living God and is deepened as we engage in experiences and practices that help us enjoy and understand that communion. To that end, Baylor faculty and staff have access to ministries and programs that support the grace already at work in their lives. In addition, our Spiritual Life ministers, who are educated and experienced to offer compassionate support and pastoral guidance, are available to walk with staff and faculty. Those in need are encouraged to contact the Office of Spiritual Life at (254) 710-3517 . Additional resources for the Spiritual Wellbeing of faculty and staff can be found below.

Resources for Spiritual Wellbeing

Chapel is the oldest tradition in American higher education. Faculty and staff are welcome to join the Baylor community in numerous chapel experiences. Join us in Chapel Worship, Community Prayer Chapels, or the Truett Seminary Chapel.

Departmental Prayer

The University Chaplain and Associate Chaplains are available to lead times of prayer for any department or group of staff and faculty. These prayers might be in response to a need or to support an initiative or simply to experience the spiritual practice of communal prayer so central to the Christian walk. Please call the Office of the University Chaplain at (254) 710-3517 to schedule a time.

Spiritual Wellbeing Leave

Spiritual Wellbeing Leave, available September 1, 2023, is a resource for eligible Baylor staff employees to use as a day to connect with or reflect upon their faith.

For faculty and staff looking to get involved in a local church community, we have a list of Waco area churches on our website. Contact our department of Campus Ministries & Church Connections if you need help finding a church that’s the right fit for you.

Truett Seminary - Conferences & Lectures

Baylor's Truett Seminary seeks to be a place that offers resources and cultivates relationships. Throughout the year, faculty and staff have opportunities to attend conferences and lectures related to Christian ministry and theological studies.

Baylor is rich with formative events and opportunities to explore the depth and breadth of our faith. The Institute of Faith and Learning keeps a calendar of events formative for students, faculty, and staff.

The Office of Spiritual Life offers programs, persons, and resources to nurture theological depth, spiritual wholeness, and missional living in students, faculty, and staff.
