University of New Brunswick Campus Ministry

Greetings from the University of New Brunswick’s Campus Ministry! My name is Kevin Bourque, and I am delighted to be a part of what’s happening on UNB’s Fredericton campus.

The atmosphere at the university is electric with the energy of youthfulness and the bustling ambition of young minds. Keen to learn, students are often open to considering spirituality as an aspect of being human. From day to day, I spend my time with students, staff and faculty, immersed in natural settings as a friend, mentor, guide and counsellor.

As I entered this ministry, it became obvious that many of the students were keen to worship God in song and were looking for a setting to complement
their Sunday morning experience; a place where they could find a relaxed atmosphere, have fellowship with other young people and worship God.

In February, Campus Ministry will be hosting its first ecumenical worship service. This service emerged partly out of my own passion for music and worshipping God in song, but more so from the requests of students. As I entered this ministry, it became obvious that many of the students were keen to worship God in song and were looking for a setting to complement their Sunday morning experience; a place where they could find a relaxed atmosphere, have fellowship with other young people and worship God. As planning and preparation for this event moves forward, there is a natural excitement and hope that this event could become a regular part of campus life
at UNB. What a blessing that would be!
