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!

UKirk @ VCU is also an officially recognized More Light faith community. More Light Presbyterians is an organization within the PC (USA) church with the following mission: "Following the risen Christ, and seeking to make the Church a true community of hospitality, the mission of More Light Presbyterians is to work for the full participation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people in the life, ministry and witness of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and in society."
As a community of faith in the risen Christ, UKirk at VCU is also committed to the inclusion and affirmation of our LBGTQIA+ kindred as well. So when we say that all are welcome to the table, we really mean all people. If you have any more questions and curiosities about what this means, please visit the More Light Presbyterian website at mlp.org/ for more information.
