Campus Ministries

We Welcome Kent State Students!

The United Methodist Church of Kent warmly welcomes college students into our worship and church activities. Students find involvement in the following areas:

  • United Christian Ministries

    This campus ministry, located in the part of our building nearest the street, sponsors:

    1. A Wednesday evening fellowship, meeting at 7:30 p.m. every Wednesday during fall and spring semesters in the UCM lounge.

    2. Bible studies

    3. Kappi Phi, a Christian women's sorority

    4. Mission work projects, including an Alternative Spring Break

    5. Numerous other groups, projects, and opportunities.

    The pastor leading UCM is the Rev. Lauren Odell-Scott. Email UCM, call 330-673-5687, or visit MyUCM.org. UCM is an ecumenical campus ministry sponsored by several area churches in addition to the United Methodist Church.
  • Host Families

    Students can become connected with a "host family" that becomes a "family away from home" here in Kent. Interested students should contact the church office at 330-673-5879, or email Dr. Palmer.
  • University of Life

    Students are invited to participate in our various opportunities for Adult Spiritual Growth.
  • Music

    Students are invited to take part in any of our adult musical groups:

    The Sanctuary Choir (traditional choral music, directed by Dr. Frank Wiley, from the KSU school of music),

    The East and Main Worship Band (contemporary praise music, led by Michael Goff, where there are opportunities for vocalists and instrumentalists),

    The New Spirit ensemble (eclectic mix of old time gospel, jazz, and modern church music),

    You can find more information about these groups on the music page of our web site.
  • Worship

    There are always a number of students in attendance at Sunday worship, and we occasionally have students involved in worship leadership.
  • Transportation

    Students needing a ride to church should contact our bus ministry at (330) 673-5879, ext. 29.
  • #SASS

    Our young adult group, #SASS, meets weekly to discuss books, the Bible, plan service opportunities, and share their week. Join them any Tuesday evening at 7 pm in the Parlor. Snacks are provided!
