Evangelical
Heart-to-Heart Ministries
The mission of Heart-to-Heart Ministries is to communicate to the campus community the Good News of Peace with God and to make prosperous disciples of the Lord Jesus. Jesus the Christ, the Compassionate, the Merciful, is the Creator of the universe. He is the only Divine incarnation on earth to reveal the love and mercy of God and to provide the assured way to Heaven. Biblical Christianity is founded on the Deity of Christ, the Love of Christ, the Mercy of Christ, and the preeminence of Christ, all of which are declared in the Holy Bible as revealed to the Old and New Testament prophets and apostles, respectively. His purpose to provide mankind a way to His heaven is summarized in the Holy Bible in this way: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
Reflecting the character of Christ, Heart-to-Heart Ministries seeks to share this Good News (Gospel) on campus, attending to both spiritual and physical needs of students and staff. The student communities' unique challenges, pressures, and needs are our primary focus as we reinforce the witness of Christian students and staff through Bible study, prayer, counseling, socials, and community outreach. All other members of the campus community are offered the Gospel message and these same services. Please utilize our services freely, and may you find hope for living both here and for eternity.

Unitarian Universalist
Unitarian Universalist Campus Ministries
Unitarian Universalism is a pluralistic religious faith. Our roots are in liberal and heretical Christianity. Unitarianism speaks of the "oneness of God" and Universalism of the "universal salvation of all". Today, we embrace many beliefs and covenant with one another around core values expressed in our Principles and Purposes statement.
We are a supportive Unitarian Universalist faith community at UB that addresses the unique concerns and pressures of the transitional nature of student life. Our campus ministry group is a place for students to understand their faith journey, learn about our shared values and be empowered to put their beliefs and values into social action.
We meet weekly during the fall and spring semesters on Sundays from 8:00pm - 9:30pm in the Student Union. Please call Jean Ott for room number.
