A Letter from our President

Welcome to UCU!

The UCU Men’s House is an amazing community of men at the University of Washington who love Jesus and do life together. Located on the corner of 16th and 47th, UCU is right by campus and the Ave, close to all that the area has to offer.

UCUers develop close relationships and spend much of their free time with each other. We enjoy studying together, movie nights, chatting with our wonderful cook, Kate, and participating in planned social and spiritual house events. Every year includes formals, socials, retreats, intramural sports, outdoor adventures, and plenty of spontaneous activities. These allow everyone opportunities to grow closer in fellowship, and are an absolute blast! In addition, we are heavily involved with the UW student body, campus clubs, and local churches.

While we are a social house, academics remain a top priority. We recognize that we are at UW to learn and serve the Lord in the callings He has given us, so we prioritize studying and support each other in our academics to achieve excellence. A valuable benefit of living at UCU means you can often find someone in the house who has taken your classes before and can answer questions and offer assistance. UCUers are excited to help each other out with schoolwork, and people with shared areas of study frequently take classes together.

Above all, we seek to live together in a manner worthy of the calling of Christ, reflecting His love to those around us. We follow the biblical example of ministry through a variety of service projects that take place each quarter. Each person’s walk with Jesus is supported by fellow residents and encouraged by scheduled activities, including small groups and our weekly house Bible study.

Calling UCU my home has been a tremendous blessing. At first I was unsure what to expect, but from the moment I moved in, it has been an incredible season of life. I have grown so much in my walk with the Lord, gained some of my closest friends, and made countless memories that I will forever cherish. It is an honor to lead our house with the love and joy that we are afforded through Jesus. I hope and pray that UCU continues to grow and bless others the way it has for me, and I am excited to see what God has in store for this year!

In Christ,
Andrew Peter

UCU Men’s House President 2026-2027
