UCCM began over 30 years ago as an outreach to students on the campus of the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. In 2001 we expanded our reach to Cape Fear Community College and in 2007 added the CFCC North Campus.
United Christian Campus Ministry is supported by contributing individuals as well as churches and church governing bodies of the supporting denominations--Methodist, Presbyterian (USA) and Disciples of Christ--and administered by a board consisting of local volunteers from our contributing churches.
Some Comments from Dr. Sue McCaffray,
Chairwoman of the Board of UCCM
It is so important to have a witness on the campuses of our two public colleges. To that end, for over 25 years UCCM has been a gift from people of faith in southeastern North Carolina to the students and staff of our public colleges. We have been so gratified to have earned the respect of university and community college officials. There are many positive examples of this, but none more powerful than during the tragic events on the Virginia Tech campus. UNCW administrators contacted our campus minister, Rev. Nancy Cooper, within an hour of that tragedy. The chancellor asked Rev. Cooper to announce to students the kinds of counseling services the university makes available to them. Why was Rev. Cooper available to UNCW officials at such a time? Because churches like yours support United Christian Campus Ministry.
As the only group providing an ordained, professional minister to these campuses, we incur significant expenses. We believe we have been good stewards of your gifts, and would be happy to provide information about our budget and our annual audit upon request.
Please do contact me or your board representative if we can be of service or provide information about UCCM to your congregation. We would very much welcome an opportunity to do so.
In Christ’s name,
Susan P. McCaffray
Board Chairperson
