University Ministry
Believe the gospel. Own and grow in your faith. Be salt and light.
Caring for Boston’s students is essential to seeking the good and welfare of our city. If you are here as a college student, we welcome you to join our community of students seeking to become more like Jesus together.
What are Campus Community Groups?
We believe that the campus is one of the best contexts for experiencing the gospel through evangelism and community. We meet every week on our campus to share life together and grow deeper in our faith in God. We are communities that do not exist for ourselves, but for others – we seek to bear witness to the gospel on campus through hospitality to our neighbors and gospel conversations.
If you would like to get involved in one of our U.M. campus community groups or would like to help start one on your campus, please email: university@citylifeboston.org

The hustle and bustle of life on campus in the city can make experiencing and building relationships with others a challenge. Once a semester, the entire University Ministry gathers for a weekend in New Hampshire and North Andover to seek God's presence, find and invest in friendships through gospel conversations, and share our stories of God's grace in community.
Our next retreat will be October 9 - 11. Register HERE!
