Welcome! We're excited you found us online! University Christian Ministries (UCM) is an interdenominational Christian student club at UBC. We strive to assist students in their desire to know Jesus and apply his teachings to their lives. Christianity is about life -- real living in a real world. A lot of people like to say that university life isn't the real world, but that just isn't so. Our time in university is simply a different world from the one in the work force. We're faced with a lot of simultaneous pressures -- paper and lab deadlines, a new home with new roommates, new questions and new doubts -- that make life at university challenging. It is precisely our life at university that Christianity deals with, not just the life beyond. And that is why UCM is here. We hope this video gives you a bit more of a visual picture of the heart of our community: NEW TO UCM? We're a community made up of students who are constantly on the move. Our Core groups meet weekly in dorm rooms and lounges all across campus. On Thursday nights we gather as a tribe, often for a time of worship and teaching. Other times it might be a social event or banquet dinner. We also own a community house on campus called the Gerard Ministry House. The "Ghouse" is home to many of our student leaders as well as our staff office. Often people hang out here after our meeting time on Thursdays. Prayer groups are happening in many different faculties and students are gathering together to both serve this community as well as the campus in a variety of ways. Our community definitely has an organic life of its own, but here are three easy ways for you to come and see what we're all about:
