Augsburg University — Attraction in Minneapolis

I was really excited to go to college here, I was one the first students with FAS Grant for foster care and wow did I go wrong picking this college. My first semester I missed a week due to COVID which I’ll excuse, but I got in 2nd semester and instantly had issues.

I’m blessed to have made some lifelong friends and to have met some of the best professors during my...

Bethany Lutheran Church, worshipping virtually (Zoom), physically distancing, but keeping our ties is now conducting the Sunday at 10 am Worship Services from the beautiful Gundale Chapel on Augsburg Campus. At this time limited to only worship leaders on site we are looking forward to when we can safely gather in person. Augsburg University and especially Leif Anderson has been wonderful to work with as Bethany moves out into the community and into a public church in passing on its physical building to Augsburg. Augsburg's support of spiritual and faith growth of its students and community within different religions is a joy to see and Bethany is glad to be a...
