Presbyterian Campus Ministry in Tucson, AZ

Welcome to Fall 2023!

This is PCM

PCM is working on what matters and how to live.
We’re a Christian group. We are not formal.
We’re explicitly affirming of BLM and other movements against oppression.
We’re explicitly affirming of all genders and orientations.

We welcome the curious, the suspicious, dissenters, true believers,
anyone who finds themselves at our door.
If you have been treated badly by the church, this can be a place to try again.
email the pastor if you have questions about what “welcome” means


Bible study + dinner Wednesday @ 6 pm
Our Savior Lutheran Church


LGBTQ+-led, questions encouraged, honesty valued


details

  1. We’re affiliated with the presbyterian church (USA). This means our congregations are governed by laypeople, not pastors, and regions by large rotating committees, not individual leaders. Everything else varies widely.
  2. We collaborate with the Lutheran Campus Ministry and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.
  3. We’re small. You’re welcome to drop in anytime, and no one will pressure you about whether you’ll show up again.
  4. PCM staff is often around campus and happy to buy you coffee and talk if there’s anything on your mind. You don’t need to have come to pcm already. email us

what’s happening

this is a wee blog for the ministry.


This stuff is also important context

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God…

The Nicene Creed (a very ancient statement of faith)

He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Micah 6:8 (one of the Hebrew prophets)

At the core of Presbyterian identity is a secure hope in the grace of God in Jesus Christ, a hope that, by the power of the Holy Spirit, empowers us to live lives of gratitude…

If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that?

James 2:15–16
