UKirk Collegiate Ministries
UKirk (“University Church”) was created in 2012 as a result of a collegiate ministries strategy team whose efforts were directed by the PC(USA) General Assembly.
UKirk supports the Presbyterian Church’s philosophical and theological mission, offering support and access to resources via its online community, providing educational outreach, and organizing a national conference for professional campus ministers on a bi-annual basis.
UKirk is not a supervising body, but an independent association with support and resources from the PCUSA, developed in response to the growing needs of college campus ministers. Governed by a board of directors, UKirk members represent campus ministry in its various forms, from associate pastors to stand-alone campus ministries to university-employed college chaplains.

Do you know a student who is going to college, and want to connect them with a local UKirk Network ministry? After asking the student's permission, share their information here and they will be connected with the college minister at their college or university.

Texas State
The United Campus Ministry at Texas State exists to help students find authentic friends, find a place they can grow spiritually, and find God’s purpose in their live.
The United Campus Ministry is a united college ministry that shares the love of Jesus Christ at Texas State. The UCM is a multi-denominational ministry partnership of The United Methodist Church, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the United Church of Christ. That said, our students come from a wide variety of church (or even no church) backgrounds. We have space for every student!
