About Salt & Light

All members of the ODU community who are interested in mission and in ministry are welcome. The name “Salt & Light” comes from the words of Jesus when he said to his disciples “you are the salt of the earth” (Matthew 5:13) and “you are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14). Salt & Light welcomes students to make a difference on campus, build connections with other students and pursue their calling to be a follower and inspiration for Christ.
