About UKirk Louisville
About US
We are a group of students who gather for worship, fellowship, service projects, and retreats. UKirk Louisville meets on Monday nights at 5:30 in the Interfaith Center at the University of Louisville. We also gather at other times for activities like special worship services, shared events with other ministries, and offsite gatherings. Some of our students are Presbyterian, but not all are, so no matter who you are or what you believe, you are welcome at UKirk!
