UCM seeks to connect the UNK community through Christian faith, fellowship, service and mission.
United Campus Ministry (UCM) is an ecumenical ministry to the campus of the University of Nebraska-Kearney on behalf of the following denominations: United Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church (USA), Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and the United Church of Christ.
UCM's dreams includes: strengthening existing programs, and developing new ministries, training and equipping students for developing their Faith, and exposing the students locally to guest speakers, retreats, and other programs to assist students in hearing God's voice.
United Campus Ministry has a strong history of preparing students for life as a Christian in today's world. We currently provide Faith building and Fellowship through programs such as Living Word Group, Food-N-Faith, Leadership retreats, Mission Trips, Bible Studies, Coffee & Chat, Peer Discussion Group and Sunday outreaches at area churches. These programs encourage faith development, leadership growth, and opportunities to explore their gifts.
The Give Where You Live campaign will help UCM expand its programs to a larger number of students and also offer new programs, along with sustaining the organization well into the future.
Testimonials
"I am grateful for UCM because of the fellowship I get share with other students especially over meals. I am also really grateful for the opportunities I have had to grow in my faith through the events and for the community I have been able to build with other students." - Sydney Owen
"Why UCM has had an impact on is for 2 main reasons; First being the affordable housing that is close to campus and second is the campus ministry. UCM was the right path for me to grow my faith in a place similar to what I was used to back home. The two are the perfect combination." - Kianna Greene
"UCM has been a big part of my college experience so far. It has given me a place that I am able to go to with a new group of people with homecooked meals. It is so nice to get a break from school and to have Pastor Jen there."
- Claire Vincent
