Our Shared Vision
At Wheaton College, we long to be a spiritually vibrant academic community—a place where students, faculty, and staff live, learn, and worship together in the presence of God. The Life With God Together Ambassadors Program exists to help make that vision a lived reality. By equipping faculty, staff, and student leaders to model and guide spiritual formation within their departments, the program seeks to weave worship, prayer, and Scripture into the fabric of daily campus life. Ambassadors serve as catalysts for Christlikeness—people who help the College remember that all learning and labor flow from our life in God.
The Program in Practice
The LWGT Ambassadors Program rests on the conviction that spiritual formation is not just an individual pursuit—it is a shared journey. Together with the Chaplain’s Office, Ambassadors help to nurture environments where God’s presence is welcomed and celebrated.
Each Ambassador serves within their own department, encouraging rhythms of prayer, hospitality, Scripture engagement, and worship among colleagues. They plan and host two departmental chapel gatherings each academic year—one in the fall and another in the spring— creating space for spiritual reflection and connection.
Through these simple but sacred practices, Ambassadors become spiritual shepherds in their spheres of influence. They help others notice God’s nearness in everyday work, conversations, and relationships.
The Role of an Ambassador
As a Life With God Together Ambassador, you serve as a representative of spiritual formation within your department. You help foster a vibrant, Christ-centered culture by modeling what it means to live a life anchored in prayer, rooted in Scripture, and marked by hospitality and grace. You’ll work closely with the Chaplain’s Office to plan faculty and staff chapel, share resources, and reflect on what God is doing in your community. You’ll also participate in quarterly gatherings where Ambassadors from across campus come together for encouragement, prayer, and leadership development. Your service requires only a small time commitment—about two hours per month—but your impact will ripple widely across campus. For your faithful contributions, Ambassadors receive an annual honorarium of $300 and are recognized at the Life With God Together Luncheon of Honor, a celebration of spiritual leadership across Wheaton College.
How You Serve
Ambassadors lead by presence and example. They are spiritual encouragers—people who create opportunities for others to encounter Christ in the ordinary moments of campus life.
When departmental chapel gatherings take place, Ambassadors coordinate with colleagues to select meaningful themes, plan a flow of worship, invite speakers or musicians, and help guide the time with grace and purpose. Services are typically 50 minutes long and held in a meaningful locations. After each gathering, Ambassadors offer a brief reflection to the Chaplain’s Office, sharing highlights, testimonies, or lessons learned. These reflections contribute to the ongoing Life With God Together Journal, a record of spiritual growth and stories of God’s work across campus.
Ambassadors also participate in the Chaplain’s Office Advisory Team, helping shape the spiritual formation praxis of the College through insight, prayer, and collaboration. The Spirit Behind the Work At the heart of this program is a simple but powerful conviction: that spiritual formation happens best in community. Ambassadors are not just planners—they are prayer partners, storytellers, and companions in the journey of faith.
Their leadership is guided by four values:
- Presence — Practicing the nearness of God in the ordinary rhythms of campus life.
- Hospitality — Creating welcoming spaces where people encounter Christ and one another in love.
- Faithfulness — Living with consistency and integrity in spiritual disciplines and relationships.
- Unity — Serving collaboratively across departments as one Body of Christ.
Through these values, Ambassadors remind the Wheaton community that life with God is not confined to chapel walls—it extends to classrooms, offices, and every corner of the College.
Support for the Journey
No one serves alone. The Chaplain’s Office walks alongside every Ambassador, providing prayer, coaching, and access to devotional materials, worship planning tools, and leadership resources. The quarterly Ambassador gatherings offer encouragement and connection, as leaders share stories, pray together, and dream about what God can do across campus. Each Ambassador’s faithful service is honored annually at the Life With God Together Luncheon, where we celebrate the ministry of those who help our community live more fully in the presence of God.
A Closing Word
The Life With God Together Ambassadors Program is an invitation to lead with grace, serve with joy, and model what it means to walk with God in community. As an Ambassador, you are part of a growing movement of believers shaping Wheaton College into a more prayerful, worshipful, and Christ-centered campus. Your leadership may begin with a single act of faith—hosting a faculty and staff chapel, leading a prayer, or encouraging a colleague—but it contributes to something much larger: the transformation of our campus into a place where Christ is honored, His presence is known, and His people walk together in love. Together, we are living out the call to be a people who dwell with God—and with one another— in faith, service, and truth.
