Campus+Ministry

The Community Church of Chapel Hill sponsors a thriving Unitarian Universalist Campus Ministry Fellowship that meets on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The campus ministry group has been meeting regularly for over a decade and is an officially registered student organization of the University. Currently it has about a dozen regular members, mostly undergraduate students. In addition to weekly meetings, the group has a retreat every semester as well as several social events. A number of the students attend weekly Sunday services at the church which is close to the campus. Some students work in the church's childcare program. Some students have chosen to become members of the church as well. The Campus Ministry group leads the worship service at the Community Church annually, usually in February.
