More than 60 years ago, then Rutgers’ President, Mason W. Gross, saw a need to encourage the life of faith and spirituality at Rutgers. He welcomed faith communities to establish their presences on this historic campus. It was in this era that the Episcopal Church formalized a presence at Rutgers. As Rutgers has changed over the decades, so has our outreach to the campus and community.
The Canterbury House is situated near the heart of the College Avenue campus, serving as our student center and featuring a new worship space. On this diverse campus, we open our doors to students of all faiths and no faith, offering traditional Episcopal/Anglican worship as well as engaging in timely and often provocative conversations around issues of faith, spirituality, and the intersections of life.
