a home away from home

The Beacon is a grace-focused ministry located on the MSU campus, here to support students from all campuses in the Mankato area.

Our ministry center is a home-away-from-home to gather with friends, study, do laundry, cook food, drink coffee, play video games, and more.

We are a community where you can learn more about the Bible, grow spiritually, ask questions, learn how to talk about your faith with others, make a positive impact, develop leadership skills, and use your creativity. Whether you are from Minnesota, out-of-state, or an international student, we are happy to have you join us!
