About UKirk@UMich
First Pres Campus Ministries, UKirk@UMich, is a UKirk Ministry, connecting it with the national network of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) campus ministries.
Though UMich is in our name, undergraduates from any school in the Ann Arbor area are welcome. If you are a graduate student, we hope you’ll connect with our T2A2 group (Twenties and Thirties of Ann Arbor). At UKirk@UMich we are building relationships with college students who are thirsty for an authentic, welcoming community of Christians. If you are part of the LGBTQ+ community, you will be fully welcomed and affirmed here. If you’ve had difficult experiences with church in the past, we’ll journey gently with you. If you’re yearning for a community of thoughtful people who value social justice and care for the world just as much as they value their faith, we have a place for you! Through the year we’ll share meals, engage in service projects, read books, try out new spiritual practices, pray, and work to live out the radical, gracious love of God. Whether you come to one event or join us every week, we hope this is a place where you’ll be filled up and strengthened for the challenges and stress of college.
