Area Places of Worship

The City of Wooster is home to many religious and spiritual communities–Several of which are in walking distance to the College.

We recognize, however, that some students, staff, and faculty may want to visit or join a community of faith that is not available within the city limits. While we may not be able provide transportation to individuals on a weekly basis, we will do our best to assist with organizing carpools and rentals for special services. If you have transportation and are open to carpooling students, faculty, or staff, please reach out to Chaplain Erin Guzmán to help coordinate these opportunities.
