Supporting your faith
We are a small, welcoming team that supports the spiritual and religious needs of our student and staff community in Cornwall.
We don’t think one faith is better than another and we don’t try to convince people to join a particular religious community.
We welcome people of all faiths, and of no faith, and are very happy to talk about God, explore a spiritual or religious path with you or generally talk about religion and spirituality.
Support from the Chaplaincy
You are welcome to approach us for advice or to ask any questions you may have about spirituality and faith. You can email chaplaincy@fxplus.ac.uk to book a conversation with a chaplain.
Our Chaplaincy spaces can be used for prayer and meditation and we host a variety of religious gatherings during the year. Keep an eye on our events calendar for upcoming activities.
Local faith communities
Our Multifaith Chaplaincy has connections with many different faith groups in our local community and would be happy to connect you with someone from a specific faith in our local area or with student faith groups or societies that celebrate religious festivals.
