MAKE DISCIPLES THAT MAKE DISCIPLES
About UMIN
College is often seen as "me time." We want to see the good news of Jesus awaken students to the joy of living for something bigger than themselves - the glory and renown of God. We want to raise up a community that lives sent for the good of their campus, our city, and the world.
Sunday Mornings
We invite you to join us each Sunday for worship at 9:30 a.m., immediately followed by Sunday School at 11 a.m. We meet for Sunday School in the Student Building for coffee and breakfast, fellowship, then time studying the Word and having small group conversation.
Community Groups
We weren't created for isolation. We were created to know and to be known by others. Community Groups offer a place midweek for you to meet with God, connect with others, and be motivated to live with purpose.
Serve
Campus. City. Church. We want each student in UMIN to serve in some capacity in one of these three venues.
Events
From Pancake Kickoff to Community Worship; Family Lunch to Fall Retreat, we want to provide spaces to welcome non-Christians, new faces, and to foster community.
