Our Mission and Vision
Our Mission
In keeping with the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Christian tradition of hospitality, Pres House is dedicated to providing a religious center and purposeful housing to support the spiritual, emotional, and intellectual growth of residents and members of the UW-Madison campus community.
Pres House is a ministry of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., and welcomes individuals of every perspective and background.
Our six mission impact objectives help us focus on particular outcomes as we seek to build a home for students on campus. The image below illustrates how we imagine the connections between each objective.
Our Vision
We aim to build not simply a “campus church” or “campus ministry,” but a home – a place for all to come and explore; a place where anyone can find a place to rest; a place that is shaped by everyone who wants to lend a hand.
In our home, we:
- are in a continual state of remodeling
- leave space for uncertainty in every room
- share a meal together (our weekly worship gathering)
- rest on a sturdy foundation
- want what we build together to witness to Jesus Christ
