The Episcopal Canterbury Fellowship at MSU ("Canterbury") is the organization of Episcopal students on the campus of Mississippi State University and invites you to participate in its programs and offerings at any time! Students from across the Diocese of Mississippi, neighboring states and elsewhere attend MSU and find Canterbury to be a place to make friends seeking to deepen their faith experience.

Canterbury meets regularly with plans ranging from a traditional worship service to an open discussion of a significant topic of the day, to watching movies and sharing a community meal to having fun. Music is a part of our gatherings as often as possible, and eager musicians are encouraged to bring their instruments. * We are currently seeking musicians. If interested, please contact the chaplain. *

Canterbury gatherings are held throughout the year, whenever MSU is in session (fall, spring and summer terms). Please see below schedule for current meeting times and other special events.

The Canterbury group is guided by the Episcopal Chaplain at MSU, the Rev. Carol Mead, who helps bring parish-based campus ministry to Mississippi State University in addition to regular Canterbury gatherings. Long an important part of the parish and diocese's work, Canterbury has become connected in many ways to various activities and responsibilities within the life of Church of the Resurrection. Students serve on the Search and Servant Ministries committees, as liaison to the Vestry, and are involved in Parish stewardship and the liturgical life of the church as lectors, altar guild members, youth coordinators and leaders, choristers, musicians and Lay Eucharistic Ministers. Students and parish members get to know one another as both friends and mentors.
