2020 >> Faithfully Foward
Our faithful students adapted with meaningful ministry to the young adults at Texas State University
We have connected with more than 250 students in ministry this year through online, outdoor, and social distanced in-person events.
We care for the spiritual health of our student while keeping them physically safe with COVID protocols.
We are nurturing future Christian leaders who can guide the church and world faithfully forward.
WEEKLY WORSHIP
We offer a weekly worship service, right next to campus and across the street from several dorms, that offered a safe and welcoming spiritual space to grow in the love and worship of Jesus Christ.

BIBLE STUDY
This fall, we launched several new small group Bible Small Group Studes, including “Beloved Women’s Bible Study” focused on young laidies in sororities and a new “Philipians - Joy during Uncertain Times.” The small groups meet socially distanced in person as well as online as students reflect on how the Bible can guide their lives.

OUTDOOR MINISTRY

SOCIAL DISTANT STUDY SPACE
The UCM transformed its coffeehouse and dining hall into a safe social distance student space. This has become a comfortable place for student to be productive in their work while able to find friendship and encouragement in their studies.
FAITHFUL FRIENDSHIPS
College can be a lonely time with many influences that aren’t the healthiest choices. The UCM is a welcoming place where people can find authentic friendships and grow into who God is calling them to become.
