Affiliate

Affiliates support the St. Lawrence mission and its efforts to foster the search for meaning, the need for community, and the flourishing of students. Becoming an affiliate allows St. Lawrence to communicate with you and to invite you to opportunities to help us achieve these noble ends for yourself and others.

Those who use St. Lawrence Center as their primary place of belonging, worship and stewardship are invited to become members. Affiliates are typically KU Faculty/Staff who might also belong to another church but wish to identify with the goals of the Center to benefit the KU experience for all.
