Fellowship for all faiths.
Are you looking for meaningful fellowship with others? Are you searching for a spiritual home in the Lexington area? Or would you just like to learn more about the diverse faiths represented on campus and in central Kentucky?

It also promotes community service, sponsors lectures and conversations about issues such as ethics and social justice and coordinates interfaith services and prayer opportunities.
Our Affiliation
Transylvania established an affiliation with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in 1865. The history of the Disciples reveals a focus on unity in faith, higher education as a path to understanding and tolerance when faced with differences. Transylvania is proud to embrace these same values.
