Elon University - Office of Religious Life

The Vera Richardson Truitt Center
for Religious and Spiritual Life

The Truitt Center is a safe place for spiritual growth and interfaith exploration. Our mission is to encourage students to honor the spiritual dimension of life, be vitally connected to a faith tradition, embrace the present responsibly and the future with hope, and live the principles they value.

The Truitt Center enables Elon students to learn about their own and other faiths and to live lives of reconciliation

The Truitt Center is endowed by Douglas G. Noiles and Edna Truitt Noiles '44.

Elon University's mission statement begins by identifying our religious context: "Rooted in the historic tradition of the United Church of Christ, Elon University embraces its founders' vision of an academic community that transforms mind, body and spirit, and encourages freedom of thought and liberty of conscience." In this spirit, Elon offers a spacious welcome to students and faculty from diverse religious traditions .
