The University Episcopal Center is a Chaplaincy to students at the University of Minnesota that provides spiritual and pastoral care, a physical space for worship, discernment and fellowship, and programs that enhance and direct worship and religious education for U of M students.
The University Episcopal Center is a place to relax, to explore your faith, and to meet other students. Catch up on homework or make yourself a cup of tea in our student lounge. more

Activities Schedule
Wednesdays
Join us at 12pm to sing Noonday Prayer and partake of our group lunch. Meets at the Green House, 310 Walnut St SE, Minneapolis, near the corner of Washington and Walnut.
Sundays
Eucharist service at 5pm, followed by dinner at 6pm. Meets at the YMCA, 3rd floor, 1801 University Ave, Minneapolis. We recommend parking in the 4th St Ramp.
Are you unsure about visiting us this Sunday? Well, here's is what you'll find: Just inside the YMCA entrance is a lounge with a fireplace. Many of us willing be hanging out here-- some of us have probably been here since the doors opened at 3pm. Take a seat and join the conversation, soon you'll be feeling right at home. Just after 5pm we'll head up to the 3rd floor for Eucharist (sometimes called Mass, Worship, the Sunday Service, you get the idea). You'll get a sheet with all of the prayers and songs, and the Bible reading for the day. We'll read some prayers, sing a bit, and have a short discussion about the Bible reading. You are welcome to participate at whatever level you feel comfortable. The service ends with Communion. No one will mind if you take Communion or not. It is up to you. The whole thing lasts about an hour. After the service there is a free, vegetarian dinner. Stay if you'd like, or leave. And that's it. You should give it a try.
100 x 100 Campaign
The UEC is celebrating it's 100th year!
Our fall stewardship campaign kicks into high gear this month as we embrace and celebrate our history and our future. We have been here for 100 years, listening to God's Spirit in the chaos of this world and sharing the Good News with students and community members for 100 years. We are glad to be here and it is good for us to be here. And, we need your help to continue for these next 100 years, starting right here and now!!
We are asking our friends in the Episcopal Diocese of Minnesota, churches and individuals alike, to donate $100 to the UEC, one dollar for every year of ministry. We need your help and we hope you will be generous. If you have been a pledger in the past, please consider pledging for this coming year and you are most welcome to pledge above our 100x100. But, if 100 people donate, we will have paid for office space and worship space for this entire year - just 100 people. Help make this ministry a continuous presence here at the U of M.
