Campus Ministry & Outreach

McKinley is a vibrant, progressive, and inclusive faith-based Christian ministry providing community and support to students and young adults within the UIUC community. Though we are affiliated with the Presbyterian Church (USA), our campus ministry also respects the many spiritual traditions among those we serve. Many of our activities take place in the Foundation building on the U of I campus.

This group of young adults, aged approximately 18-24, meets 1 to 2 times each week. Gatherings alternate between service projects and social events. To be alerted to upcoming activities and details, fill out the contact us form and check “Campus Ministry” under subject.
