UKirk is an intentionally inclusive Presbyterian ministry of Calvary Presbyterian Church in Indiana, PA that seeks to speak the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a diverse and ecumenical group of students, to promote social justice and human equality, and to offer opportunities for service and safety to the IUP community. We are a Reformed Presbyterian Ministry and we are a Christian ministry; however, w
e welcome people at all points in their faith journey and at all places in their life journey. The only thing you need to be to join this ministry is yourself, your full self, and your authentic self. We are a fully affirming ministry when it comes to LGBTQ+ issues and we support the equal rights and full inclusion of ALL people in the life and ministry of the church. Our doors are open to all races, genders, nationalities, religions, identities, origins, orientations, and to people at various places in spiritual development. We encourage hard questions and we welcome participation by all. Our ministry is fueled by a central belief in the love, justice, and reconciliation taught to us by Jesus Christ. For this reason, we believe in caring for our environment, welcoming strangers, working for justice, calling for peace, and intentional involvement in the local community. The hours listed as "open" hours are office hours only. Pastoral care concerns and other concerns can be sent by text, email, or messenger and cell information is available as needed.
