United College Ministries is sponsored by a number of Episcopal, Anglican, Presbyterian, Church of Christ and United Methodist churches in the Northern Virginia area of the Christian faith. The ministry is dedicated to "changing lives and connecting people to God and to each other" within the Northern Virginia community. The ministry works primarily with students and faculty from various schools such as George Mason University and Northern Virginia Community College, but welcomes the opportunity to work with anyone in higher education.
Each program within the ministry is focused on four areas: support, fellowship, training and involvement. Any individual interested in furthering the mission of UCM is welcome to join and encouraged to volunteer for one of the many opportunities offered.
