Canterbury House

A Progressive & Inclusive Christian Community at TCNJ

Where questions, doubt, and differences are expected

– and joy embraced.

Canterbury House provides a Christian frame of reference and spiritual guidance to students interested in thoughtfully exploring who God is calling them to be in the world.

Meditation: Wednesdays & Fridays from Noon to 12:30 pm
