Rev. Lauren Rheingans

Campus Minister

Lauren Rheingans is thrilled to join the Wesley Foundation as Campus Minister. Originally from Illinois, Lauren first discovered the life-changing potential of campus ministry as a college student at North Central College in Naperville, IL.  Lauren is  provisional United Methodist deacon. UMC deacons are clergy who seek to connect the church and the world through ministries of justice, compassion, word, and service. A graduate of Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, Lauren found her true ministry passion in campus ministry. She especially enjoys journeying with students as they strive to form their identities and claim their faith as their own. In her spare time, Lauren enjoys music, theater, reading, and crafting. Lauren and her husband, Adam, also enjoy exploring the beauty of nature in their new state. They attend Centennial United Methodist Church St. Anthony Park Campus in St. Paul.
