Connect with a Pastor

A note from Rev. Nii Addo Abrahams, Director of Campus Ministry:

As the Director of Campus Ministry at Pres House, I hold space in my schedule each week to meet with UW-Madison students one-on-one for pastoral care, prayer, mentoring, and even just to hang out. There are two more ordained pastors at Pres House—Rev. Manato Jansen and Rev. Erica Liu—who are also available to meet with students. You do not have to be involved at Pres House to meet with one of us! We consider it a great honor and privilege to hold this sacred space for students, no matter who they are.

Below each of our names is a list of some topics we are prepared to talk with students about. Your need does not have to fit into one of these categories to meet with a particular pastor, but we hope this helps you discern who to connect with if you don’t already have a relationship with one of us.

To schedule a meeting with a pastor, click on one of our photos. You’ll be directed to a scheduling page which will allow you to pick a day and time that works for you. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to go through it alone!
