Episcopal Lutheran Campus Ministry

A Student Group
We are undergraduate and graduate students from all around the world. We have a wide variety of backgrounds and majors, but we have one thing in common: a need to take time from our busy lives of studying and working, a need for fellowship and engagement, and a need to keep our perspectives healthy.

Engaging the world
While issues have changed since our founding in the 60s, ELCM is still a community committed to social justice and hospitality to strangers. (Click here to see the results of our Oreo Cookie Federal Budget!) As a community "at work in the world," we are committed to justice, respect for conscience, and equality for all people, especially those who are most at risk in society.

Part of University Church
University Church, or UniChu as it is affectionately known, is our home base, providing a center for our activities and an important link to the community. You've probably walked or ridden your bike right by us on the Southeast side of campus. We're at 1611 Stanford Avenue.

A Faith Community
We are a united ministry of the Episcopal and Lutheran churches, but this community is made up of people from many (or no) denominations. We use scripture, tradition, reason, and experience to inspire a living faith. We are barrier-free, welcoming all people from the community - faculty, staff, students, family, friends, neighbors, and alumni. If you want to be here, God welcomes you.

A Group of Friends
We are a welcoming group that often serves as a family away from home. Fellowship, food, laughter, and community play an important role in our gatherings, bringing us closer to each other and bringing us closer to God.

This is more than a Sunday gathering.

This is a large, extended family into which you are heartily welcome.

Bread and Belonging: All are Welcome

College students (and college-aged folk) are welcome to this weekly gathering for dinner and conversation, every Tuesday evening of the school year at 5:30 in the The CIRCLE Common Room. Our gathering always consists of dinner (almost always home-cooked), conversation, and prayer. We have Bible study, discuss current events, play games, watch movies, etc. Bring a friend . . . All are welcome!
