“How UCM Changed My Life”

This page is dedicated to those who would like to share their experience with University Christian Ministries.

“When I first arrived at UCM as a shy sophomore, I had no idea how greatly the organization would affect my life.  I began by attending the weekly Lunch Bunch program and was eventually convinced by Natalie, the Administrative Assistant, to interview for an internship.  I began as a student intern in the fall semester of 2006.  My main duty was to lead the weekly worship program.  That first year I learned to ‘break out of my shell’ and collaborate with my fellow band mates in order to create a worthwhile worship experience.  Through leading worship and playing keyboard in the band I was able to use my musical talents to express my faith for the first time.”

“I went on my first mission trip with UCM.  We travelled to Houma, Louisiana to help people rebuild their homes in the aftermath of Hurricane Gustav.  It was sobering to see the mass distruction caused by the hurricane, but I was touched by the friendliness and gratitude of the people we helped.  I realized that the people whose homes were destroyed by the hurricane are really no different than us.  They are our brothers and sisters in Christ.”

“This is my third year of involvement in University Christian Ministries.  I am currently the Administrative Assistant and Lunch Bunch Coordinator.  I greatly enjoy talking and sharing stories with the people who come.”

“UCM is not just a building where students gather for free lunches on Wednesdays.  It is a place to worship, grow, and experience Jesus Christ through wonderful people who genuinely care.  Come to UCM and see for yourself!”–Emily Stewart, UW-Milwaukee student
