The central core to spiritual life is the Campus Ministry. Small group sessions give people the chance to connect with each other through Bible studies, discussions, prayer times, and films. The name of the Campus Ministry's service initiative is FalconCorps. This gives students a chance to participate in social justice events, service, and improve leadership skills. Some of these programs include the Ronald McDonald House, Cleveland Catholic Worker, and Habitat for Humanity. The Harig Endowed Internship gives students a chance to be mentored in Campus Ministry and given a compensation amount each semester.

Students will get personal attention inside and outside of the classroom. The Dwyer Learning Center was created to help students with their homework and studying for exams. For no cost, peer tutors assist students with their studies and are familiar with proper training techniques. In addition, The First Year Institute is an orientation program that helps freshmen transition to college. This is held during the first semester and creates a small-group experience for students. Students meet with faculty and staff mentors on a regular basis to figure out how to achieve academically and on a social level.
