What starts here transforms lives. You can help.
At the ESC we are grateful for the generous support we receive as a mission of the Diocese of Texas. While this funding keeps our staff employed, our building open, and our bills paid, we are always trying to fully meet the needs of our students. Your additional support helps close the gap.
Donations from individuals and congregations allow the ESC to continue to be a vibrant and welcoming ministry for all students. The legacy of the ESC is strong, both in the Diocese of Texas and wherever our alumni go as they live and work in communities across the United States and Canada.
After the difficulties of the pandemic, the staff and student leadership of the ESC are hard at work reintroducing ourselves to the University of Texas community and growing again by sharing the good news of the love, life, and liberation shown to us in Jesus. You donation helps us expand our capacity for ministry among an under-reached demographic at a critical time in their spiritual and emotional development.
With your help, the ESC can continue to be one of the most active campus ministries in the Episcopal Church.

100% of your donation goes to student programs.
In any given week, your support helps us:
offer home-cooked meals free of charge to our students,
keep our spaces open 24/7 for prayer, study, nourishment, and rest,
purchase supplies for small group study,
provide free and low-cost mental health services to students in need,
and fund service-learning trips and spiritual retreats.
Your donation makes the ESC possible.
Whether you choose to give $5 or $500, your donation makes a difference by supporting the daily moments that change our students’ lives forever.
“The best part of my day is often spent at the ESC. We lean into the comfort of knowing a God who loves every single one of us, and at the same time lean into the discomfort of knowing we live in a world in need of justice and healing.”
— Mary Riley, class of 2025
