United Campus Ministry
About Us
We’ve gone by a lot of names in our history but are now happily settled as United Campus Ministry. Students have been meeting together to talk about faith and life at the University of Arkansas nearly as long as classes have been held, and United Campus Ministry grew out of that movement.
United Campus Ministry is a home away from home for students at the University of Arkansas and other college-age adults in Northwest Arkansas.
The VISION of United Campus Ministry is to create a welcoming and supportive community open to all on the University of Arkansas campus, especially those who desire to grow in faith and leadership.
And the MISSION is to engage, equip, and empower leaders for the church and the world.
Programs at United Campus Ministry are formed and shaped to advance the mission and vision while offering something students want to attend and bring their friends.
