About the EC
The Ecumenical Center, or EC as it’s called, is UW-Green Bay’s Campus Ministry. We are a non-profit organization serving the campus. We generate 100% of our operating funds. We are a welcoming place for all students. We offer Protestant and Catholic services Sunday nights at 7pm. Our building is filled with comfy study areas, foose ball and ping pong tables, games, TV lounge, fireplace (especially cozy in the winter) and a prayer room.

Students can stop by any time to get away from the hustle and bustle of on campus life. We are open to all denominations and offer a variety of programs throughout the year.

Dinner for a Dollar (DFAD) occurs the first Monday of every month at 5:30pm (except November, DFAD will be November 13 so we can co-sponsor it with the International Students in recognition of International Education Week).

We also offer a number of fun programs such as ping pong tournaments, Breakfast ‘til Midnight during finals week, email prayer chain, Bless My Soul (a shoe tossing celebration for Seniors—check out our Shoe Tree), retreats, bible studies, and social justice programming on topics such as homelessness, hunger and poverty and SO MUCH MORE! Check out our website www.ecumenical-center.org for all the upcoming events!
