The university church of Sweden is a religious organization that is active on 30 campuses towards higher education in the nation. The main objective of the or- ganization, which works on an ecumenical level, is to provide support for the staff and students at the universities and by doing so arrange activities and provide a listening ear towards the targeted group. The objective of the study is to provide knowledge about the organization from the perspective of inner secularization from Karin Johannessons point of view through the anthology inomkyrklig seku- larisering (2018) by studying the organizations physical activities. The method is based on a quantitative content analysis that covers approximately 1400 activities in 10 cities provided by the university church from Malmö in the south to Luleå in the north of Sweden. The goal is also to cover a time perspective of over 2.5 years to give the study a broad perspective on the activities. By doing so the study also covers what nature the activities have that is offered and how they differ from each other when it comes to a comparison, campus to campus. The result shows a complex image where approximately 2/3 of the activities provided is secular and the other third Christian in nature according through the lens of the theoretical framework. The organization differs a lot from city to city when it comes to most aspects regarding Christian and secular approaches. It also differs in activity level on Facebook and what kind of priorities the organization tend to have towards the student and staff population on each of the Universities.
