Upperclass & Commuter Ministries

Upperclass & Commuter Ministries (UCM) serves SPU transfer students, as well as students who live off campus or in Campus Housing and Apartments (CHA).

Upperclass and Commuter Ministries is dedicated to serving transfers, CHA, off-campus, and commuter students. UCM cultivates Christian community by bringing these groups together through various events, with an emphasis on hospitality building community, and growing in faith.

If you are looking for a place to serve others, we welcome you to join our team as we seek to meet the needs of the transfer, CHA, off-campus, and commuter student population.

Join Us Wednesday Nights for Group

This is not your standard “songs and sermon” program. Group is a holistic service, an immersion of the body, mind, and heart in the Christian story.
