Local Religious Communities
Oberlin College’s Office of Spirituality and Dialogue (OSD) serves as the college’s connection with a large number of local religious communities to help meet the religious needs of the Oberlin campus and to engage in mutually beneficial partnerships. OSD encourages members of the campus community to explore these religious communities, some of which offer as part of their congregational life significant young adult and campus ministry programs and services.
Local religious communities relate with OSD through the director of OSD. For more information, please contact the director.
