UKirk UTK The PC(USA) Campus Ministry at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Where God's House Feels like H "UKIRK" literally means, "University Church."

UKirk UTK is located in a historic house just next to Presidential Courtyard. Our doors are open from 8am until 11pm each weekday for students to come by and hang out. We have lots of comfortable couches and places to just kick back, study, talk with your friends, watch TV, or even sleep. An ordained Presbyterian minister is available for counseling, hanging out, coffee, or even a free meal. UKirk UTK is a mission of the Presbytery of East Tennessee and the Presbyterian Church (USA) although students from many backgrounds are involved. At UKirk we seek to be a ministry to the campus that welcomes all students and provides a “home away from home.” We encourage students to stay connected to the larger Church while providing a kind of on campus “church” at which college students feel comfortable and can worship and serve. We are a place where students can feel free to kick back and be who God has made them to be. Whether you grew up in the church or you really aren’t too sure about this whole church and Jesus thing, the UKirk House is a place where you can ask the tough questions, learn, share, experience, and grow within a community. UKirk UTK is a place where everyone belongs and students know they are loved by God and others.
