What is UKirk?
In short, UKirk stands for University Church.
In not-quite-as-short, UKirk is a national network of campus ministries of the Presbyterian Church, USA. You can find out more about this network here: www.ukirk.org
UKirk @ VCU is a downtown Richmond, VA branch of this emerging ministry. We believe "we are called to be a witness to and for the world of the new reality that God has made available to all people through Jesus Christ: by building a community where unique and inclusive individuals value one another, and where we engage relevant issues in deep and open conversations. Because we seek to know Christ and make Christ known in downtown Richmond and throughout the world." We live into this call by gathering together every Thursday night from 7-9pm for food, faith, and fellowship.
There's always room at the table! Come check us out!
