Catalyst Center for Applied Learning

The Asbury University Mentor Program | for the professions provides students with opportunities to expand their network and learn from someone who has “gone before them.” This one-on-one mentoring relationship allows each mentee to receive individual attention and guidance related to career and personal aspirations, self-discovery, and aptitude awareness, along with professional development and networking skills to increase workforce readiness.

The Mentor Program aims to prepare students for successful careers in their chosen field by integrating academic learning with real-world experiences, thus becoming a model for workforce readiness and global impact.

Get Involved in Discipleship

While discipleship is intertwined with all expressions of campus life at Asbury, we have several opportunities we do very intentionally to give students entry points for new growth. Every discipleship moment at Asbury is a reflection of Acts 2 – being together for prayer, conversation, and encountering Scripture. When Asbury students enter these discipleship moments, they grow in holiness, stewardship, and mission.

Gather

  • Takes place weekly on the floor of every Residence Hall and is a time for residents to come together for a time of prayer, testimony, and fellowship led by a Spiritual Life Assistant (“SLA”).
  • Commuter Gather occurs weekly on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. at WGM Student Center (upstairs). If you are a commuter, please contact Lexie Presta (alexandra.presta@asbury.edu)

Banded Discipleship Groups

  • Gender-specific friend groups of three to five people intentionally committed to meeting weekly around Scripture, prayer, and intentional questions.
  • For more information, contact spiritual.life@asbury.edu

Small Groups
