MFCC Mission

The Multi-Faith Communities Council (MFCC) at Cleveland State University (CSU) supports and encourages celebrating our diversity while discovering common ground in each of our own unique expressions of faith.  We are active in representing to our campus community the highest aspirations of constructive dialogue and mutual ministries of each faith community.  We foster deeper understanding and mutuality between all faiths, connecting the mind, heart, and soul through cooperation, community, affirmation, conversation, unity, peace, hope, love, and faith.

Services, Support & Opportunity

Working with issues of poverty, relationships, justice, service, sharing in worship, prayer, retreats, forums, studies, fellowship, discovery, and learning, the MFCC engages in a variety of activities.  MFCC members are on campus to provide guidance and support to students, engage in discussions surrounding faith and religion, and provide support.
