Mission
Our goal at Penn State is to provide an environment for
students to gather who want to grow in their walk with Christ. College is a
hectic time in one's life, and important decisions are made every day. We want
to provide an atmosphere where students can make safe choices and have fun at
the same time. We don't think that drinking and partying is the only way to have
fun at college. We hope that through the activities and events we do, we will be
able to imitate Christ at Penn State and show others that there is so much more
to life. We do this through service activities, our weekly gatherings, and by
simply standing for Christ throughout the week. We focus on community so that we
can stand strong together. With friends and peers who feel the same as you do,
it is easier to make smarter choices. Overall, our number one goal is to provide
a place where students can find friends, meet others who share their beliefs and
goals and sometimes even people that will challenge them.

Here's how the members of UCM view our group:
"We are a group of students developing a close-knit, Christ-centered community.
We seek to foster meaningful friendships within the Penn State student body
and provide an open, comfortable environment for anyone interested in exploring
questions of faith."
So now what?
UCM is currently transitioning from what it had been in the past to....whatever you want it to be! We are currently trying to identify what UCM's niche on campus is, and where it needs to go in the future. If you have interest in the group, or in a Christian group with focuses on peace and justice issues, please feel free to contact Brandn or one of the student leader (info on the Contact page).
