Carthage encourages students to participate in student organizations listed below. Taken together, our programs give the Carthage community a variety of ways to explore worldwide views and the intersections of spirituality and leadership. Past student organizations include Orthodox Christian Fellowship, Jewish Student Union, Muslim Awareness Association and Pagan Forum. Visit The Harbor to learn more about these student organizations.

Roman Catholics make up the largest religious group on campus. Catholics@Carthage works with the campus pastor to create learning, fellowship, and service opportunities for other Roman Catholic students on campus. A weekly mass, led by priests from the surrounding communities, takes place Sundays at 7:30 pm in Siebert Chapel.  The student organization meets 2 -3 times a month after mass for fellowship and activities.

Intervarsity is a national organization creating a Christian community on campus and connecting with other Intervarsity chapters. Join us at a large group to have in-depth discussions about the bible lead by pastors and leaders in the area. There are weekly small and large groups and community nights open to all students, as well as opportunities for service.

The Muslim Society Awareness/Association’s purpose at Carthage is to create an environment that is open to those who practice their faith on campus, in the community, and in the world. MSAA is INCLUSIVE and everyone is welcome to join.

CFS student community builders living in the residence halls or as commuters are resources to all Carthage students. Community Builders helps students get connected to student organizations and support programming that includes Catholic Mass, Random Acts of Kindness & Service, SPIRIT, and Interfaith experiences. They are available for one on one conversations and peer ministry.
