Who we are

  • The University Fellowship (TUF) is the official Episcopal campus ministry for undergraduates at the University of Virginia. While deeply rooted within the Christian tradition, we are an open-minded and open-hearted group of students exploring the big questions of life and having lots of fun doing so.

  • We gather for prayer, community service, and spiritual growth.

  • We welcome everyone—no exceptions! 

Worship

  • Worship with TUF at St. Paul’s on Sundays at 7:30 p.m. Our candlelit service offers time for meditation, reflection, and prayer. The service is preceded by dinner for undergraduate students at 6:45 p.m.

  • We hold an informal, intergenerational Evening Prayer service on Wednesdays at 5:30 p.m. College students often preach and take other leadership roles. Dinner for parishioners of all ages follows the service.

Fellowship

TUF fellowship activities include:

  • Weekly dinners

  • Movie/game nights

  • Camping trips

  • Retreats at Shrine Mont

  • Fun service projects

  • A cozy study room at St. Paul’s (with snacks!)

Formation

  • Weekly Conversations on Faith & Life: Monday nights from 7 - 8 p.m. Come explore your faith life in an open and inquiring environment with students and guest speakers from St. Paul’s and UVA. These conversations explore the connections between our spiritual lives and the rest of our lives, between what we learn in the classroom and how we live in the world. And we have cookies!

The Episcopal Church leadership Scholarship
