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!

Fall Semester Highlights:
Thursday October 18th, No "Official" UKirk for Reading Day: There's no official UKirk gathering this night, BUT at 7pm we will be offering a brief time of communion and prayer for those who are still in town. Perhaps we could even go out to dinner together afterwards? Stay tuned for more precise location and more details! Thursday October 25th, Third Thursday Worship @7pm: it's that time again for worship! This time we'll be joined by our guest preacher Rev.Todd Davidson. All are welcome to come sing, pray, listen, and share communion together! Thursday November 1st, All Saint's Day Discussion @7pm: Presbyterian's historically haven't had much to do with "the saints"--but why is that? What does it mean to pray to saints or "honor" them in a unique way? Why is there an All Saints Day? Let's discuss this together on All Saint's Day itself in the UKirk space at Second Presbyterian! Thursday November 8th, Camp Hanover @6:45pm: Due to Hurricane Michael, we had to reschedule our visit out to Camp Hanover--join us as we enjoy a hot meal over a camp fire and hear from Colleen Earp, Director and Youth and Environmental Ministries! We'll be leaving from VCU's Campus at 6:45pm to carpool together. |
Third Thursday Worship
Every third Thursday of the month! Once a month our usual Thursday night gathering is a night of worship with the Lord's Super. We explore scripture, sing music, and share prayers. Worship centers ours lives and connects us to God and one another. Come worship with us! Contact us here to sign up or if you have any questions!
