InterVarsity Christian Fellowship

InterVarsity is a Christian inter-denominational campus ministry welcoming all students from all backgrounds! The purpose of Salem InterVarsity is to be a Christ-centered multi-ethnic community of people, reflecting His Kingdom. We are a community seeking to know God through study of the Bible, fellowship, worship and accountability, so that we can nurture and encourage each other to love God and serve His purposes in the world. We focus on one-on-one discipleship times, developing genuine friendships through small group Bible studies, gospel choir, dance team, retreats/conferences, international student bible studies, and large group worship nights.  We try to live out our
faith by reaching out to serve our college and the community around us!

InterVarsity Christian Fellowship is an interdenominational Christian group that meets each week for Bible study, large group worship and fellowship, Gospel choir, and prayer. All students are encouraged to attend the meetings.

Catholic Student Association (CSA)

CSA is a small but active part of life at Salem. Although the organization and meetings are somewhat informal, they function primarily as a service and support group. Any Salem student is welcome! CSA is involved with our Lady of Mercy Church and with the campus minister at Wake Forest University.

The Circle

The Circle is a recently founded organization designed for students that belong to a nature based religion--this can extend from Wicca and New Age Spiritualism to Buddhism and Hinduism. Any religion that has an affinity with nature respect or worship is welcome, as well as those just curious about the beliefs. The club serves as a supportive forum to speak about the issues that we face in everyday life. Meetings are usually held once a month, possibly more in October or April.
